Information
When you enter the traceroute command without specifying an IP address (Extended
Traceroute), you are prompted for a target and source IP address, timeout (in seconds) (default
is 5), a probe count (default is 3), minimum TTL (default is 1), maximum TTL (default is 30), and
port number (default is 33434). To keep the default setting for those parameters, press the
ENTER key.
For IPv6, you are prompted for a minimum hop count (default is 1) and a maximum hop count
(default is 64).
