•
vrf-name —The name of the VRF associated with the routing table
context used by the command. If no vrf is specified, the global routing
table context is used.
•
ipaddress —Valid IP address of the destination host.
•
hostname —Hostname of the destination host. (Range: 1–256
characters). The command allows spaces in the host name when
specified in double quotes. For example, console(config)#snmp-
server host “host name”
•
initTtl —The initial time-to-live (TTL); the maximum number of router
hops between the local and remote system (Range: 1–255).
•
maxTtl —The largest TTL value that can be used (Range:1–255).
•
maxFail —Terminate the traceroute after failing to receive a response for
this number of consecutive probes (Range: 1–255).
•
interval —The timeout period. If a response is not received within this
period of time, then traceroute considers that probe a failure (printing
*) and sends the next probe. If traceroute does receive a response to a
probe, then it sends the next probe immediately. (Range: 1–60 seconds).
•
count —The number of probes to be sent at each TTL level
(Range:1–10).
