212 Routing traffic
Viewing routing information along a path
You can display detailed routing information from a source port (or area) on the local switch to a
destination port (or area) on another switch. This routing information describes the full path that a data
stream travels between these ports, including all intermediate switches.
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Enter the pathInfo command. In interactive mode, you can specify the following parameters for
display:
Paths always originate on the local switch. The path destination can be specified by domain or port. By
default, the path will be the path taken by traffic from the source to destination port, but you can also
specify all or portions of a path.
See the Fabric OS Command Reference for details on the pathInfo command.
Following is an example of pathInfo in interactive mode.

Max hops: (1..127) [25]

Max hops The maximum number of hops that the pathinfo frame is allowed to
traverse.
Domain The destination Domain ID.
Source Port The port number (or area number for 4/256 SAN Director) on which
the switch receives frames.
Destination Port The output port the frames use to reach the next hop on this path. For the
last hop, the destination port.
Basic stats Basic statistics on every link.
Extended stats Detailed statistics on every link.
Trace reverse path Whether the same path should be followed from the destination switch
back to the source switches.
Source route Whether the frame should follow a specified path to reach the
destination.
Timeout The maximum time to wait for a response from pathInfo, in seconds.
