Send an IPv4 Traceroute
Use this page to tell the switch to send a traceroute request to a specified IP address or host
name. You can use this to discover the paths that packets take to a remote destination. Once
you click the Apply button, the switch sends a traceroute and the results are displayed below
the configurable data.
To send an IPv4 traceroute:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the Switch on page 14.
