How to Use the Tracert Utility   270 

Tracert (Trace Route) is a route-tracing utility that is used to determine the path that 

an IP datagram takes to reach a destination. The tracert command uses the IP 
Time-to-Live (TTL) field and ICMP error messages to determine the route from one 

host to another through a network. 

To run Tracert from the Support Tools Dashboard: 

1.  Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with. 

2.  From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > Tracert. 

3.  In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using 

section below. 
Note: When entering arguments, the tracert command is already implied. Do 

not enter it in the Arguments field. 

4.  Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is 

the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.  

5.  If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run 

regardless of the level of server activity. 

6.  Click the Run button.
