traceroute ipv6
Use the traceroute ipv6 command to discover, on a hop-by-hop basis, the route that IPv6
packets take when traveling through the network to an IPv6 address or a host name that resolves
to an IPv6 address. A traceroute continues to provide a synchronous response when initiated
from the CLI.
Using the following options, you can specify the initial and maximum time-to-live (TTL) in probe
pack
e
ts, the maximum number of failures before termination, the number of probe packets sent
for each TTL, the size of each probe packet, and the source.
Default • count: 3 probes
• interval: 3 seconds
• size: 0 bytes
• port: 33434
• maxTtl: 30 hops
• maxF
ail: 5 probes
• initTtl: 1 hop

Parameter Description
initTtl Use the initTtl parame
ter to specify the initial time-to-live (TTL), the maximum
number of router hops between the local and remote system. Range is 0–255.
maxTtl Use the maxTtle parame
ter to specify the maximum TTL. Range is 1–255.
maxFail Use the maxFail parame
ter to terminate the traceroute after failing to receive a
response for this number of consecutive probe packets. Range is 0–255.
interval Use the interval parame
ter to specify the time between probe packets, in seconds.
Range is 1–60 seconds. If a response is not received within this interval, the probe packet
is considered failed and the next probe packets is sent. If a response to the probe packet is
received within this interval, the next probe packet is sent immediately.
count Use the count par
ame
ter to specify the number of probe packets to send for each TTL
value. Range is 1–10 probes.
port Use the port parame
ter to specify destination UDP port of the probe packet. This should
be an unused port on the remote destination system. Range is 1–65,535.
