DGS-3630 Layer 3 Stackable Managed Switch CLI Reference Guide source {IP-ADDRESS | IPV6-ADDRESS} frequency SECONDS (Optional) Specifies the source IP address used for the ping packet. The specified IP address must one of the IP address configured for the Switch. The destination address and the source IP must be the same type of address, both are IPv4 or IPv6. (Optional) Specifies the frequency time for traceroute. Default By default, three 40-byte UDP datagrams with an Initial TTL of 1 is sent. The maximum TTL value is 30. The timeout period is 5 seconds. The tos value is 0. The destination base UDP port number is 33434. The query number for each TTL is 3. The frequency value is 0. Command Mode User/Privileged EXEC Mode. Command Default Level Level: 1. Usage Guideline To interrupt this command after the command has been issued, press Ctrl-C. This command uses the TTL field in the IP header to cause routers and servers to generate specific return messages. A traceroute starts by sending a UDP datagram to the destination host with the TTL field set to 1. If a router finds a TTL value of 1 or 0, it drops the datagram and sends back an ICMP time-exceeded message to the sender. The traceroute facility determines the address of the first hop by examining the source address field of the ICMP time-exceeded message. To identify the next hop, traceroute again sends a UDP packet, but this time with a TTL value of 2. The first router decrements the TTL field by 1 and send the datagram to the next router. The second router sees a TTL value of 1, discards the datagram, and returns the time-exceeded message to the source. This process continues until the TTL is incremented to a value large enough for the datagram to reach the destination host (or until the maximum TTL is reached). To determine when a datagram has reached its destination, traceroute sets the UDP destination port in the datagram to a very large value that the destination host is unlikely to be using. When a host receives a datagram with an unrecognized port number, it sends an ICMP port unreachable error to the source. This message indicates to the traceroute facility that it has reached the destination. Example This example shows how to trace-route the host 172.50.71.123. Switch# traceroute 172.50.71.123

source {

IP-ADDRESS

IPV6-ADDRESS

}

(Optional) Specifies the source IP address used for the ping packet. The specified

IP address must one of the IP address configured for the Switch. The destination

address and the source IP must be the same type of address, both are IPv4 or

IPv6.

frequency

SECONDS

(Optional) Specifies the frequency time for traceroute.

Default

By default, three 40-byte UDP datagrams with an Initial TTL of 1 is sent.

The maximum TTL value is 30.

The timeout period is 5 seconds.

The

tos

value is 0.

The destination base UDP port number is 33434.

The query number for each TTL is 3.

The

frequency

value is 0.

Command Mode

User/Privileged EXEC Mode.

Command Default Level

Level: 1.

Usage Guideline

To interrupt this command after the command has been issued, press Ctrl-C.

This command uses the TTL field in the IP header to cause routers and servers to generate specific return

messages. A

traceroute

starts by sending a UDP datagram to the destination host with the TTL field set to 1. If a

router finds a TTL value of 1 or 0, it drops the datagram and sends back an ICMP time-exceeded message to the

sender. The

traceroute

facility determines the address of the first hop by examining the source address field of the

ICMP time-exceeded message.

To identify the next hop,

traceroute

again sends a UDP packet, but this time with a TTL value of 2. The first router

decrements the TTL field by 1 and send the datagram to the next router. The second router sees a TTL value of 1,

discards the datagram, and returns the time-exceeded message to the source. This process continues until the

TTL is incremented to a value large enough for the datagram to reach the destination host (or until the maximum

TTL is reached).

To determine when a datagram has reached its destination,

traceroute

sets the UDP destination port in the

datagram to a very large value that the destination host is unlikely to be using. When a host receives a datagram

with an unrecognized port number, it sends an ICMP port unreachable error to the source. This message indicates

to the

traceroute

facility that it has reached the destination.

Example

This example shows how to trace-route the host 172.50.71.123.

Switch# traceroute 172.50.71.123

<10 ms

172.50.71.123

Trace complete.

This example shows how to trace-route to the host 172.50.71.123, but the router does not reply.
