Traceroute
Use Traceroute to discover the routes that packets take when traveling on a hop-by-hop basis to their
destination through the network.
• Maps network routes by sending packets with small Time-to-Live (TTL) values and watches the
ICMP time-out announcements
• Command displays all L3 devices
• Can be used to detect issues on the network
•Tracks up to 20 hops
• Default UDP port uses 33434 unless modified in the traceroute command
