User Guidelines
Traceroute operates by sending a sequence of Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets. The time-to-live (TTL) value, is used
in determining the intermediate routers through which the packet flows
toward the destination address. Routers decrement a packet’s TTL value and
discard packets whose TTL equals 0. On discarding a packet, the router
returns an ICMP time exceeded message to the source. Loopback interfaces
are not supported on the N1100-ON Series switches.
The hostname parameter may be a fully or partially qualified domain name. A
hostname consists of a series of labels separated by periods. Each label may be
a maximum of 63 characters in length. The maximum length of the
hostname parameter is 256 characters. Refer to RFC 1035 Section 2.3.1 for
more information.
