Cisco Support Tools 1.0 User Guide How to Use the Tracert Utility 270
How to Use the Tracert Utility Tracert (Trace Route) is a route-tracing utility that is used to determine the path that
an IP datagram takes to reach a destination. The tracert command uses the IP
Time-to-Live (TTL) field and ICMP error messages to determine the route from one
host to another through a network.
To Access Tracert from the Dashboard
To run Tracert from the Support Tools Dashboard:
1. Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with.
2. From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > Tracert.
3. In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using
section below.
Note: When entering arguments, the tracert command is already implied. Do
not enter it in the Arguments field.
4. Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is
the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.
5. If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run
regardless of the level of server activity.
6. Click the Run button.
