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.
Examples
The following example discovers the routes that packets will actually take
when traveling to the destination specified in the command.
(console)# traceroute ipv6 2001::2 init-ttl 1 max-ttl 4 max-fail 0 interval 1
count 3 port 33434 size 43
Traceroute to 2001::2, 4 hops max, 43 byte packets:
1 2001::2 708 msec 41 msec 11 msec
2 2001::2 12 msec 13 msec 12 msec
3 2001::2 14 msec 9 msec 11 msec
