Syntax
traceroute {ip-address |hostname}[size packet_size] [ttl max-ttl] [count packet_count]
[
timeout time_out] [source ip-address] [tos tos]
Parameters
• ip-address — IP address of the destination host.
• hostname — Host name of the destination host. (Range: 1-158 characters)
• packet_size — Number of bytes in a packet. (Range: 40-1500)
• max-ttl — The largest TTL value that can be used. The traceroute command
terminates when the destination is reached or when this value is reached. (Range:1-
255)

User Guidelines
The traceroute command takesadvantage of the error messages generated by the devices
when a datagram exceeds its time-to-live (TTL) value.
The
traceroute command starts by sending probe datagrams with a TTL value of one.
This causes the first device to discard the probe datagram and send back an error message.
The
traceroute command sends several probes at each TTL level and displays the round-
trip time for each.
