You can administer automatic trace-route from System Management Interface (SMI). Use this procedure to administer the Automatic trace-route feature through SMI.
Procedure
Log in to the System Management Interface.
Select Diagnostics > Traceroute.
The system displays the Traceroute page.
In the Host name or IP address field, enter either the host name or the IP address.
Select the Print address numerically option to print the hop addresses numerically rather than by symbolic name and number.
If you do not select the Print address numerically option, the system looks up symbolic names for the host addresses. To do so, the system uses the domain name server, which translates the IP address to a symbolic name. If the domain name server is unavailable, the traceroute command will be unsuccessful.
Select the Bypass routing tables and send directly to host option to run the traceroute to a local host through an interface that has no route through it.
The Bypass routing tables and send directly to host option runs the traceroute to a local host on an attached network. If the host is not on a network that is directly attached, the traceroute will be unsuccessful and you will receive an error message.
Select the Use alternate IPv4 address as the source address option to specify an alternate IP address as the source address.
Use the Use alternate IPv4 address as the source address option to force the source address to be something other than the IP address of the interface from which the probe packet was sent.
