Reference Guide

IPv4 address on the source interface. With SNMP, the source must be specified as an address. The
source cannot be specified in the web UI.
200 Series will not accept an incoming packet, such as a traceroute response, that arrives on a routing
interface if the packet’s destination address is on one of the out-of-band management interfaces
(service port or network port). Similarly, 200 Series will not accept a packet that arrives on a
management interface if the packet’s destination is an address on a routing interface. Thus, it would be
futile to send a traceroute on a management interface using a routing interface address as source, or to
send a traceroute on a routing interface using a management interface as source. When sending a
traceroute on a routing interface, the source must be that routing interface or another routing interface.
When sending a traceroute on a management interface, the source must be on that management
interface. For this reason, you cannot specify the source as a management interface or management
interface address. When sending a traceroute on a management interface, you should not specify a
source address, but instead let the system select the source address from the outgoing interface.

Mode Privileged EXEC
Using the following options, you can specify the initial and maximum time-to-live (TTL) in probe
packets, the maximum number of failures before termination, the number of probes sent for each TTL,
and the size of each probe.
Parameter
Description
ipaddress
The ipaddress value should be a valid IP address.
ipv6-address
The ipv6-address value should be a valid IPv6 address.
hostname
The hostname value should be a valid hostname.
ipv6
The optional ipv6 keyword can be used before ipv6-address or hostname. Giving
the ipv6 keyword before the hostname tries it to resolve to an IPv6 address.
initTtl
Use initTtl to specify the initial time-to-live (TTL), the maximum number of router
hops between the local and remote system. Range is 0 to 255.
maxTtl
Use maxTtle to specify the maximum TTL. Range is 1 to 255.
maxFail
Use maxFail to terminate the traceroute after failing to receive a response for this
number of consecutive probes. Range is 0 to 255.
