Send an IPv4 Traceroute
Use this page to tell the switch to send a traceroute request to a specified IP address or host
name. You can use this to discover the paths that packets take to a remote destination. Once
you click the Apply button, the switch sends a traceroute and the results are displayed below
the configurable data.
