IPv6 Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

Replies to each traceroute operation are displayed on the console screen. To stop a traceroute
operation before it finishes, press [Ctrl] [C].
For more information about how to configure and use a traceroute operation, see the
“Troubleshooting” appendix in the Management and Configuration Guide.
Syntax
traceroute6 [ ipv6-address | hostname ] [ minttl 1 - 255 ] [ maxttl 1 -
255 ] [ timeout 1 - 120 ] [ probes 1 - 5 ] [source ipv6-addr | vid |

Syntax
traceroute6 [ link-local-address %vlanvid | hostname ] [ minttl 1 - 255
] [ maxttl 1 - 255 ] [ timeout 1 - 120 ] [ probes 1 - 5 ] [ source [ ipv6-addr
| vid | oobm ]]
Lists the IPv6 address of each hop in the route to the specified destination host
device with the time (in microseconds) required for a packet reply to be received
from each next-hop device.
ipv6-address
IPv6 address of a destination host device.
link-local-address %vlan vlan-id
IPv6 link-local address, where %vlan vlan-id specifies the VLAN ID number.
hostname
Host name of an IPv6 host device configured on an IPv6 DNS server.
oobm
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management (OOBM) port, oobm
specifies that the traffic originates from the out-of-band management port.
minttl
Minimum number of hops allowed for each probe packet sent along the route.
Default : 1; Range : 1 - 255
• If the minttl value is greater than the actual number of hops, the traceroute
output displays only the hops equal to or greater than the configured minttl
threshold value. The hops below the threshold value are not displayed.
• If the minttl value is the same as the actual number of hops, only the final
hop is displayed in the command output.
• If the minttl value is less than the actual number of hops, all hops to the
destination host are displayed.
maxttl
Maximum number of hops allowed for each probe packet sent along the route.
Valid values: 1 - 255. Default: 30
If the maxttl value is less than the actual number of hops required to reach the
host, the traceroute output displays only the IPv6 addresses of the hops detected
by the configured maxttl value.
timeout
Number of seconds within which a response is required from the IPv6 device
at each hop in the route to the destination host before the traceroute operation
times out.
Default : 5 seconds; Range : 1 - 120
