Contexts
All contexts.
In /clusters/cluster/directors context, command is tracepath.
Syntax
director tracepath
[-i|--ip-address] ip-address
[-n|--director] director
Arguments
Required arguments
[-i|--ip-address] IP-
address
The target's IP address. This address is one of the Ethernet WAN ports on another director. Use
the ll port-group command to display the Ethernet WAN ports on all directors.
Optional arguments
[-n|--director]
director
The name of the director from which to perform the operation. Can be either the director's
name (for example director-1-1-A) or an IP address.
Description
Displays the hops, latency, and MTU along the route from the specified director to the target at the specified IP address.
The number of hops does not always correlate to the number of switches along the route. For example, a switch with a fire wall
on each side is counted as two hops.
The reported latency at each hop is the round-trip latency from the source hop.
The MTU reported at each hop is limited by the MTU of previous hops and therefore not necessarily the configured MTU at that
hop.
CAUTION:
If the target machine does not respond properly, the traceroute might stall. Run this command
multiple times.
