Traceroute
This section describes the Traceroute feature.
Use Traceroute to discover the routes that packets take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis to
their destination through the network.
• Maps network routes by sending packets with small Time-to-Live (TTL) values and watches
the ICMP time-out announcements
• Command displays all L3 devices
• Can be used to detect issues on the network
• Tracks up to 20 hops
• Default UPD port used 33343 unless modified in the traceroute command
Note: You can execute Traceroute with CLI commands only—there is no Web
interface for this feature.
