Trace Route (Tracert) Test
Trace route follows the path to a destination IP address by sending a few packets of
information in successive rounds with increasing time-to-live (TTL) values. It reports the
network "hops" required to reach the IP address and how long the test took. Also, if the
device at that IP address fails to respond, the trace route test reports the path of the last
router that forwarded the test packets. This type of test is useful to determine where in the
network the longest transmission delays occur or where the transmission fails.
To perform a trace route test:
1. Enter the IP address for the device you want to check into the Address to Trace field
(see figure 88 on page 144).
2. Click Trace. The test can take a full minute to process. Results display in the Network
Trace Results dialog box.
