If you send the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses to the ping.
Tracing a route
To determine the path through which the router can reach another network device, enter a
command such as the following at any level of the CLI.
Brocade# traceroute 192.33.4.7
Syntax: traceroute <host-ip-addr> [maxttl <value>] [minttl <value>] [numeric] [timeout <value>]
[source-ip <ip addr>]
The CLI displays traceroute information for each hop on the route as soon as the information is
received. Traceroute requests display all responses to a given TTL. If there are multiple equal-cost
routes to the destination, the router displays up to three responses by default.
