TraceRoute

Use this page to determine the Layer-3 path a packet takes from the device to a specific IP address or
hostname. When you initiate the traceroute command by clicking the Start button, the device sends a
series of traceroute probes toward the destination. The results list the IP address of each Layer-3 device a
probe passes through until it reaches its destination – or fails to reach its destination and is discarded. The
information you enter on this page is not saved as part of the device configuration.
To access the TraceRoute page, click System > Utilities > TraceRoute in the navigation menu.

Description
The DNS-resolvable hostname or IP address of the system to attempt to reach.
Traceroute works by sending UDP packets with increasing Time-To-Live (TTL) values. Specify the
number of probes sent with each TTL.
The maximum Time-To-Live (TTL). The traceroute terminates after sending probes that can be Layer-3
forwarded this number of times. If the destination is further away, the traceroute will not reach it.
The initial Time-To-Live (TTL). This value controls the maximum number of Layer-3 hops that the first
set of probes may travel.
