11.2.3.23traceroute
Use this command to display a hop-by-hop path through an IP network from the device to a
specific destination host when operating in switch mode. Three UDP or ICMP probes will be
transmitted for each hop between the source and the traceroute destination.
traceroute [-w waittime] [-f first-ttl] [-m max-ttl] [-p port] [-q nqueries] [-s
src-addr] [-r] [-d] [-t tos] [-F] [-g gateway] [-I] [-n] [-v] [-x] host [packetlen]
Syntax Description
-w waittime (Optional) Specifies time in seconds to wait for a
response to a probe.
-f first-ttl (Optional) Specifies the time to live (TTL) of the first
outgoing probe packet.
-m max-ttl (Optional) Specifies the maximum time to live (TTL)
used in outgoing probe packets.
-p port (Optional) Specifies the base UDP port number used in

gw1.
-I (Optional) Specifies the use of ICMP echo requests rather
than UDP datagrams.
-n (Optional) Displays hop addresses numerically.
(Supported in a future release.)
-v (Optional) Displays verbose output, including the size
