Navigate to to use the traceroute command to track the path a message takes through the network.
Packets sent from your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall may pass through many other devices on the way to their final destination, which can make it difficult to figure out where problems are occurring if connectivity cannot be established. The traceroute command allows you to trace the routes of your LANCOM R&S®Unified Firewall packets to a certain host.
The Traceroute settings allow you to configure the following Parameters:
| Input field | Description |
|---|---|
| Destination | Enter the IP address of the final destination. |
| Max Hops | Enter the maximum number of nodes (routers or other devices) to be traversed on the way to the destination. The number is set to 30 by default, but you can enter any integer from 1 to 255. If the destination is not reached before this threshold, probe packets are discarded. |
Click Run to start tracerouting. The Output area displays the list of gateways traversed along the way.
The Close button at the bottom of the panel allows you to shut the panel and return to the complete overview of your entire configured network.
