Release 5.1.6.R02 User Guide Supplement June 2005 page 2-19
traceroute6
Used to find the path taken by an IPv6 packet from the local switch to a specified destination. This
command displays the individual hops to the destination as well as some timing information.
traceroute6 {ipv6_address | hostname} [if_name] [max-hop hop_count] [wait-time time] [port
port_number] [probe-count probe]
Syntax Definitions
ipv6_address Destination IPV6 address IPv6 address of the host whose route you
want to trace.
hostname DNS name of the host whose route you want to trace.
if_name If the target is a link-local address, the name of the interface used to
reach it.

Defaults
Platforms Supported

Usage Guidelines
• When using this command, you must enter the name of the destination as part of the command line
(either the IPv6 address or hostname).
• Use the optional max-hop parameter to set a maximum hop count to the destination. If the trace
reaches this maximum hop count without reaching the destination, the trace stops.
