Using the traceroute Command

host

Sends traceroute packets to the hostname or IP address you specify.

interface interface-name

(Optional) Sends the traceroute packets on the interface you specify. If you do not include this option, traceroute packets are sent on all interfaces.

as-number-lookup

(Optional) Displays the autonomous system (AS) number of each intermediate hop between the device and the destination host.

bypass-routing

(Optional) Bypasses the routing tables and sends the traceroute packets only to hosts on directly attached interfaces. If the host is not on a directly attached interface, an error message is returned.

Use this option to display a route to a local system through an interface that has no route through it.

source address

(Optional) Uses the source address that you specify, in the traceroute packet.

tos number

(Optional) Sets the type-of-service (TOS) value in the IP header of the traceroute packet. Specify a value from 0 through 255.
