Using a DNS Name To Initiate a Trace Route

EXAMPLE:

Suppose you want to trace the route from the HP 6208M-SX to a remote server identified as NYC02 on domain newyork.com. Because the newyork.com domain is already defined on the switch, you need to enter only the host name, NYC02, as noted below.

USING THE CLI

HP6208# traceroute nyc02

Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [maxttl <value>] [minttl <value>] [numeric] [timeout <value>] [source-ip <ip addr>]

The only required parameter is the IP address of the host at the other end of the route. See the Command Line Interface Reference for information about the parameters.

After you enter the command, a message indicating that the DNS query is in process and the current gateway address (IP address of the domain name server) being queried appear on the screen:

Type Control-c to abort

Sending DNS Query to 209.157.22.199

Tracing Route to IP node 209.157.22.80

To ABORT Trace Route, Please use stop-traceroute command.

NOTE: In the above example, 209.157.22.199 is the IP address of the domain name server (default DNS gateway address), and 209.157.22.80 represents the IP address of the NYC02 host.
