Switchover scenario with tracert
Using the command "tracert IP address of the network node" it is possible to trace
the route of a packet in the network. To do this, the command sends multiple ICMP
echo request commands to the target address. The output shows the IP address of
each intermediate node and the respective times.
Procedure:
1. Press the "[Windows]" + "R" key combination.
2. Enter "cmd" in the window that appears. Click "OK".
3. Enter the command "tracert 192.168.10.20" to trace the route in the network.
In the output from this command, you can see that the target address traces
over the master router (IP address: 192.168.20.2).
4. Pull a network cable on the master router.
5. Enter the command "tracert 192.168.10.20" again to ping PC2.
You can see in the output from this command that the target address now
traces over the backup router (IP address: 192.168.20.3).
