Traceroute

You can use Traceroute to discover and map a routing path between two devices within a domain, or a Front Server and a device.

1. On a map page, select Traceroute from the right-click menu, or select Actions > Traceroute from the map toolbar.
2. In the From field, enter a device hostname BJ_L2_Core_3 to specify the destination device. You can also click on the text box to select a Front Server or a device in the domain.
   

   Tip: When you select Auto Front Server, the Front Server specified in the Shared Device Settings of the destination will be used. All configured Front Servers are auto-populated in the list. To use another Front Server, select one from the list.

   Tip: When you select a device, its management interface is automatically used as the traceroute source. You can select another interface from the list as the traceroute source.

3. In the To field, enter a device hostname BJ*POP to specify the destination device. You can also click on the text box to select a device in the domain.
   
   

   Tip: You can set the frequency to recur the execution repeatedly. By default, the Run Once is selected.

4. (Optional) Click the icon to configure the following advanced settings, and then click OK.

• Timeout — the maximum time to wait for a response.
• Max hops — the maximum number of hops to reach the destination device.

5. Click Traceroute to start the action.
6. Click Map to diagram the traceroute result on the map.
   
   

   Tip: To map any traceroute result, you can click Map Traceroute Result, select a source and paste the traceroute result.

   Tip: To save an action node and its input for reuse, point to it and click the  icon to select Save as Favorite.
