Figure C-23. Example of a Completed Traceroute Enquiry
[maxttl < 1-255 >]
For the current instance of traceroute, changes the maximum
number of hops allowed for each probe packet sent along the
route. If the destination address is further from the switch
than maxttl allows, then traceroute lists the IP addresses for
all hops it detects up to the maxttl limit. For any instance of
traceroute, if you want a maxttl value other than the default,
you must specify that value. (Default: 30)
[timeout < 1-120 >]
For the current instance of traceroute, changes the timeout
period the switch waits for each probe of a hop in the route.
For any instance of traceroute, if you want a timeout value
other than the default, you must specify that value. (Default:
5 seconds)
[probes < 1-5 >
For the current instance of traceroute, changes the number of
queries the switch sends for each hop in the route. For any
instance of traceroute, if you want a probes value other than
the default, you must specify that value. (Default: 3)
A Low Maxttl Causes Traceroute To Halt Before Reaching the
Destination Address. For example, executing traceroute with its default
values for a destination IP address that is four hops away produces a result
similar to this:
Destination IP Address
Continuing from the previous example (figure C-23, above), executing
traceroute with an insufficient maxttl for the actual hop count produces an
output similar to this:
Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Tools
Intermediate router hops
with the time taken for the
switch to receive
acknowledgement of
each probe reaching each
router.
