System Utility and Clear Commands
This section describes the commands you use to help troubleshoot connectivity issues and to
restore various configurations to their factory defaults.
traceroute
Use the traceroute command to discover the routes that packets actually take when
traveling to their destination through the network on a hop-by-hop basis. Traceroute
continues to provide a synchronous response when initiated from the CLI.
Default
• count: 3 probes
• interval: 3 seconds
• size: 0 bytes
• port: 33434
• maxTtl: 30 hops
• maxFail: 5 probes
• initTtl: 1 hop
Format traceroute <ipaddr|hostname> [initTtl <initTtl>] [maxTtl <maxTtl>]
[maxFail <maxFail>] [interval <interval>] [count <count>]
[port < port>] [size < size>] [source{ip-address|<slot/port> | loopback
<0-7>}]
Mode
Using the options described below, you can specify the initial and maximum time-to-live (TTL)
in probe packets, the maximum number of failures before termination, the number of probes
sent for each TTL, and the size of each probe.
Email Alert
Username
The username the switch uses to authenticate with the SMTP server.
Email Alert
Password

initTtl
Use initTtl to specify the initial time-to-live (TTL), the maximum number of router
hops between the local and remote system. Range is 0–255.
maxTtl
Use maxTtle to specify the maximum
TTL. Range is 1–255.
maxFail
Use maxFail to terminate the traceroute after failing to receive a response for this
number of consecutive probes. Range is 0–255.
