The TraceRte command sends UDP requests with varying Time to Live values (TTL). It waits for the routers between the local and remote hosts to send TTL exceeded messages. Use it to monitor response time from hop-to-hop and to diagnose network problems.
The following is an example of using the Trace Route – Change Defaults command format:
1. From the Commands main screen, click the Trace Route hyperlink.
2. Select Trace Route - Change Defaults from the drop-down menu.
3. Enter the IP address of the host/device to be tested.
4. Modify the values you wish to change.
The fields affect the size, number, and timeout limits used to test the availability of the selected device.
5. Click Submit.
