retained across a power cycle.
2. Optionally, configure the following settings:
• Probes Per Hop. Specify the number of times each hop should be probed. The valid
range is 1–10.
• MaxTTL. Specify the maximum time-to-live for a packet in number of hops. The valid
range is 1–255.
• InitTTL. Specify the initial time-to-live for a packet in number of hops. The valid range
is 0– 255.
