Traceroute

Traceroute allows you to display the route (path) and measure transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The trace of the route appears as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive device (remote node) in the route (path); the sum of the mean times in each hop indicates the total time spent to establish the connection. Traceroute proceeds unless all (three) sent packets are lost more than twice, then the connection is lost and the route cannot be evaluated.

To run traceroute from OneController:

  1. On the left navigation bar, click System Configuration, and then, on the menu bar, click Diagnostics. The Diagnostics screen appears (see the following figure).

  4. To run traceroute from a specific OneController interface, select the Specific Interface check box, and then select the interface from the Source Interface drop-down list: Admin, esa0, esa1, eas2 (OneC-A-600 only).
  5. Click Traceroute. The traceroute results appear below (see the following figure).
