Traceroute

Traceroute discovers the IP routes forwarded by sending an IP packet to the target host and back to the device. The Traceroute page shows each hop between the device and a target host, and the round-trip time to each such hop.

Procedure

Step 1

Click Administration > Traceroute.

Step 2

Configure Traceroute by entering information in the following fields:

Host Definition—Select whether hosts are identified by their IP address or name.
Host IP Address/Name—Enter the host address or name.
TTL—Enter the maximum number of hops that Traceroute permits. This is used to prevent a case where the sent frame gets into an endless loop. The Traceroute command terminates when the destination is reached or when this value is reached. To use the default value (30), select Use Default.

Step 3

Click Activate Traceroute. The operation is performed.

Note	A pop-up will appear indicating if you would like to stop the traceroute. Click Stop Traceroute to stop the process.
