host_name | host_ip_address
Identifies the remote node to trace the route to.
host_name
: specifies the remote node using its logical host name which must be resolved via DNS lookup.
host_ip_address
: specifies the remote node using its assigned IP address entered using the IPv4 dotted-
decimal notation.
count
packets
Specifies the number of UDP probe packets to send. Default: 3
df
Indicates the packets for the tracing of the route should not be fragmented. If a packet requires fragmenting, it
is dropped and the result is the ICMP response “Unreachable, Needs Fragmentation” is received.
is dropped and the result is the ICMP response “Unreachable, Needs Fragmentation” is received.
maxttl
max_ttl
Specifies the maximum time to live for the route tracing packets as an integer from 1 through 255.
max_ttl
must be greater than
min_ttl
whether
min_ttl
is specified or defaulted. Default: 30
The time to live (TTL) is the number of hops through the network; it is not a measure of time.
minttl
min_ttl
Specifies the minimum time to live for the route tracing packets as an integer from 1 through 255.
min_ttl
must be less than
max_ttl
whether
max_ttl
is specified or defaulted. Default: 1
The time to live (TTL) is the number of hops through the network; it is not a measure of time.
