network traceroute6

traceroute6

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description​

The network traceroute6 command performs a network probe from a node to a specified IPv6 address. The command requires a source node or logical interface, Vserver from where traceroute6 will originate and a destination IPv6 address. traceroute6 is performed between the source and destination.

Parameters​

{ -node <nodename> - Node
Use this parameter to originate traceroute6 from the node you specify. This parameter is available only to cluster administrators.
| -lif <lif-name>} - Logical Interface
Use this parameter to originate traceroute6 from the logical interface you specify.
-vserver <vserver name> - LIF Owner
Use this parameter to originate traceroute6 from the Vserver you specify. The default value is the system Vserver for cluster administrators.
[-debug-mode | -d [true]] - Debug Mode
Use this parameter to enable socket level debugging. The default value is false.
{ [-icmp6 | -I [true]] - ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP
Use this parameter to specify the use of ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams for the probes. The default value is false.
| [-udp | -U [true]]} - UDP
Use this parameter to specify the use of UDP datagrams for the probes. The default value is true.
[-numeric | -n [true]] - Print Hops Numerically
Use this parameter to print the hop addresses only numerically rather than symbolically and numerically. The default value is false.
[-verbose | -v [true]] - Verbose Output
Use this parameter to display all received ICMP packets, rather than just TIME_EXCEEDED and UNREACHABLE packets. The default value is false.
[-first-hop | -f <integer>] - Number of Hops to Skip in Trace
Use this parameter to specify the number of hops to skip in trace. The default value is 1.
[-gateway | -g <Remote InetAddress>] - Intermediate Gateway
Use this parameter to specify the intermediate gateway.
[-hop-limit | -m <integer>] - Maximum Number of Hops
Use this parameter to specify the maximum hoplimit, upto 255. The default value is 64 hops.
[-port | -p <integer>] - Base UDP Port Number
Use this parameter to specify the base UDP port number used in probes. The default value is port 33434.
[-nqueries | -q <integer>] - Number of Queries
Use this parameter to specify the number of probes per hop. The default value is 3 probes.
[-wait-time | -w <integer>] - Wait Between Packets (secs)
Use this parameter to specify the delay time between probes in seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
-destination <Remote InetAddress> - Destination
Use this parameter to specify the remote IPv6 address destination of traceroute6.
[-packet-size <integer>] - Packet Size
Use this parameter to specify the size of probe packets, in bytes. The default value is 16 bytes for ICMP6 ECHO and 12 bytes for UDP datagrams.

Examples​

The following example shows traceroute6 from node node1 to the destination fd20:8b1e:b255:4071:d255:1fcd:a8cd:b9e8.

cluster1::> network traceroute6 -node node1 -vserver vs1
                -destination 3ffe:b00:c18:1::10
traceroute6 to 3ffe:b00:c18:1::10 (3ffe:b00:c18:1::10)
              from 2001:0db8:0000:f101::2,
             64 hops max, 12 byte packets
