Performing a Traceroute

You can use traceroute as a diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across an IP network. The traceroute sends three requests to each hop on the way to the destination. Traceroute is done using the following CLI command:

# traceroute ipv6 <X:X::X:X> [vrf <vrf name>]

# traceroute <A.B.C.D or hostname> [vrf <vrf name>]

Examples:

# traceroute ipv6 2014:6666::dddd
1  2014:7777::aa55 (2014:7777::aa55)  2.421 ms  2.022 ms  2.155 ms
2  2014:6666::dddd (2014:6666::dddd)  2.633 ms  2.481 ms  2.568 ms
Traceroute: Destination reached

# traceroute 10.3.0.2
1  1 (10.4.0.1)  2.037 ms  3.665 ms  1.267 ms 
2  1 (10.3.0.2)  1.068 ms  0.796 ms  1.070 ms
