The Diagnostics Results tab updates dynamically as each traceroute request becomes available. The results list on the left contains a traceroute for each repeated request. The results table details the selected traceroute. Each row represents a hop and the data includes the following information:

•RBridge ID: The RBridge ID of the VCS member.

•Switch Name: The display name or IP address or display name and IP address of the VCS member (defined by you in the main window).

•Incoming Port: The port numbers in the path to the source RBridge from the destination RBridge.

•Outgoing Port: The port numbers in the path to the destination RBridge from the source RBridge.

•Round Trip Delay: The round trip delay in microseconds.

NOTE

The round trip delay for the starting RBridge (edge) is always 0 microseconds for a successful trace as this represents a self-loop.
