Determining Packet Routing with Traceroute
The Traceroute tool helps you to determine the route that packets will take to their destination. The tool
prints the result of each probe sent. Every line of output corresponds to a TTL value in increasing order.
The following table lists the output symbols printed by this tool.
To use the Traceroute tool, perform the following steps:
Step 1 In the main ASDM application window, choose Tools > Traceroute.
The Traceroute dialog box appears.
Step 2 Enter hostname or IP address to which the route is traced. If the hostname is given, define it by choosing
Configuration > Firewall > Objects > Service Objects/Groups, or configure a DNS server to enable
this tool to resolve the hostname to an IP address.
Step 3 Enter the amount of time in seconds to wait for a response before the connection times out. The default
is three seconds.
Step 4 Type the destination port used by the UDP probe messages. The default is 33434.
Step 5 Enter the number of probes to be sent at each TTL level. The default is three.
Step 6 Specify the minimum and maximum TTL values for the first probes. The minimum default is one, but it
can be set to a higher value to suppress the display of known hops. The maximum default is 30. The
traceroute terminates when the packet reaches the destination or when the maximum value is reached.
Step 7 Check the Specify source interface or IP address check box. Choose the source interface or IP address
for the packet trace from the drop-down list. This IP address must be the IP address of one of the
interfaces. In transparent mode, it must be the management IP address of the ASA.
Step 8 Check the Reverse Resolve check box to have the output display the names of hops encountered if name
resolution is configured. Leave this check box unchecked to have the output display IP addresses.
Step 9 Check the Use ICMP check box to specify the use of ICMP probe packets instead of UDP probe packets.
Step 10 Click Trace Route to start the traceroute.
The Traceroute Output area displays detailed messages about the traceroute results.
Step 11 Click Clear Output to start a new traceroute.
