Example
This example shows using traceroute to verify that the IX14 device can route to host 8.8.8.8
(www.google.com) through the default gateway. The command output shows that 15 routing hops
were required to reach the host:
1. Log into the IX14 command line as a user with Admin access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.
2. At the Admin CLI prompt, use the traceroute command to view IP routing information:
> traceroute 8.8.8.8
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 52 byte packets

By entering a whois command on a Unix device, the output shows that the route is as follows:
1. 192/8: The local network of the IX14device.
2. 192.168.8.1: The local network gateway to the Internet.
3. 96/8: Charter Communications, the network provider.
4. 216/8: Google Inc.
