Traceroute
The traceroute command enables you to trace the routed path
between the switch and a destination endstation. The
traceroute
command syntax is:
traceroute [<ip_address> | <hostname>] {from
<src_ipaddress>} {ttl <TTL>} {port <port>}
where:
• ip_address is the IP address of the destination endstation.
•
hostname is the host name of the destination endstation. To use
the host name, first configure DNS.
•
from uses the specified source address in the ICMP packet. If not
specified, the address of the transmitting interface is used.
•
ttl configures the switch to trace up to the time-to-live number
of the switch.
•
port uses the specified UDP port number.
Methods of Managing the Switch
See "Using Intel

Device
View" on page 23.
You can manage the switch by either connecting a terminal (or
workstation with terminal-emulation software) to the console port
to access the CLI or by using TCP/IP through one of the switch
ports or through the dedicated 10/100 Mbps unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) Ethernet management port to access the switch remotely.
from
Uses the specified source address in the ICMP
packet. If not specified, the address of the
transmitting interface is used.
with
record-
