Trace Route Action

The Trace Route action allows you to determine the path taken to a remote host, by sending ICMP Echo Requests to the destination and decrementing the TTL each time a router is hit.

Destination

The destination host to try to be reached. The host can be specified by its host name or an IP address.

Maximum Hops

Specifies the maximum number of hops to take while trying to reach the destination.

Timeout

The amount of time in seconds to wait for an echo reply message is to be sent back.

Host List

The Echo Request message is sent using the Loose Source Route option in the IP header, with the intermediate destinations set by the host list. The hosts can only be specified by an IP address.
