Table 104.Traceroute IPv4 Fields
Click Start to send the traceroute to the specified host and Stop to end a traceroute in progress.
Field Description
IP Address The IP address of the system to attempt to reach.
Probes Per
Hop
Traceroute works by sending UDP packets with increasing Time-To-Live (TTL) values. Specify the number
of probes sent with each TTL.
MaxTTL The maximum Time-To-Live (TTL). The traceroute terminates after sending probes that can be layer 3
forwarded this number of times. If the destination is further away, the traceroute will not reach it.
InitTTL The initial Time-To-Live (TTL). This value controls the maximum number of layer 3 hops that the first set
of probes may travel.
MaxFail The number of consecutive failures that terminate the traceroute. If the device fails to receive a response
for this number of consecutive probes, the traceroute terminates.
Interval The number of Seconds to wait between sending probes.
Port The UDP destination port number to be used in probe packets. The port number should be a port that the
target host is not listening on, so that when the probe reaches the destination, it responds with an ICMP
Port Unreachable message.
Size The size of probe payload in bytes.
Source The source to use when sending the traceroute, which can be one of the following:
None – No source is required.
IP Address – Use the IP address specified in the Source IPv6 Address field as the source.
Interface – The interface to use as the source.
