Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

Destination port.[dstport 1-34000]
Source port.[srcport 1-34000]
Specify an IP option, such as loose or strict source
routing, or an include-timestamp option:
[ip-option]
[include-timestamp]: Adds the timestamp
option to the IP header. The timestamp displays
the amount of travel time to and from a host.
Default: 9
[include-timestamp-and-address]:
Records the intermediate router's timestamp and
IP address.
Default: 4
[loose-source-route IP-addr]: Prompts
for the IP address of each source IP on the path.
It allows you to specify the IP addresses that you
want the ping packet to go through; the packet
may go through other IP addresses as well.
[record-route 1-9]: Displays the IP
addresses of the interfaces that the ping packet
goes through on its way to the destination and
on the way back.
When specified without loose or strict recording,
the source route is not recorded. The source route
is automatically recorded when loose or strict
source routing is enabled.
Default: 9
[strict-source-route IP-addr]: Restricts
the ping packet to only those IP addresses that
have been specified and no other addresses.
[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)
Stopping an ongoing traceroute search
Press the [Ctrl] [C] keys.
Examples
A low maxttl causes traceroute to halt before reaching the destination address
Executing traceroute with its default values for a destination IP address that is four hops away
produces a result similar to this:
