traceroute6

NAME

na_traceroute6 - print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination

SYNOPSIS

traceroute6 [ -dlnrv ] [ -f firsthop ] [ -g gateway ] [ -m hoplimit ] [ -p port ] [ -q probes ] [ -s src ] [ -w wait_time ] target [ datalen ]

DESCRIPTION

traceroute6 utilizes the IPv6 protocol `hop limit' field and attempts to elicit a ICMP TIME_EXCEEDED response from each gateway along the path to some host.

OPTIONS

-d
Debug mode.

-f firsthop
Specify how many hops to skip in trace.

-g gateway
Specify intermediate gateway ( traceroute6 uses routing header).

-m hoplimit
Specify maximum hoplimit.

-l
Print both host hostnames and numeric addresses. Normally traceroute6 prints only hostnames if -n is not specified, and only numeric addresses if -n is specified.

-n
Do not resolve numeric address to hostname.

-p port
Set UDP port number to port .

-q probes
Set the number of probe per hop count to probes .

-r
Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used to ping a local host through an interface that has no route through it.

-s src Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.

-v
Be verbose.

-w waittime
Specify the delay time between probes.

VFILER CONSIDERATIONS

When run from a vfiler context, (e.g. via the vfiler run command), traceroute6 operates on the concerned vfiler.
