Tracing a route
To determine the path through which the router can reach another network device, enter the
traceroute command at the Privileged Exec level of the CLI.
traceroute
Syntax: traceroute {ipv4-addr | hostname}
• ipv4-addr - Specifies the IP address of the device.
• hostname - Specifies the host name.
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received. A
trace terminates when the destination responds, when the time-to-live (TTL) is exceeded, or the
maximum number of hops is exceeded.
