Traceroute test
Use this procedure to perform a traceroute test within the Management Console. The Traceroute test traces
the network path that packets travel as they attempt to reach and return from a specific host either on the
Internet or on your local network.
Note: Since the UTM Firewall appliance runs on the Linux OS, it uses UDP probes in traceroute by default. This is
in contrast to the Windows platform, which uses ICMP. Depending on what is blocked upstream, you may observe
different results between platforms.
