Created by Yuriy Andamasov, Modified on Tue, 11 Apr 2023 at 04:29 PM by Yuriy Andamasov

The traceroute command allows you to trace the path taken to a particular device. 

Syntax

[email protected]:~$ traceroute 
[email protected]:~$ traceroute 
[email protected]:~$ traceroute 

When using traceroute with a hostname, you can force it to use either IPv4 or IPv6 by using the following syntax.

[email protected]:~$ traceroute ipv4 
[email protected]:~$ traceroute ipv4 

or

[email protected]:~$ traceroute ipv6 
[email protected]:~$ traceroute ipv6
