NAME

traceroute6 — print the route IPv6 packets will take to the destination

SYNOPSIS

traceroute6

[-adIlnrv] [-A as_server] [-f firsthop] [-g gateway] [-m hoplimit] [-p port] [-q probes] [-s src] [-w waittime] target [datalen]

DESCRIPTION

-A

Turn on AS# lookups and use the given server instead of the default.

-a

Turn on AS# lookups for each hop encountered.

-d

Debug mode.

-f firsthop

Specify how many hops to skip in trace.

-g gateway

Specify intermediate gateway (traceroute6 uses routing header).

-I

Use ICMP6 ECHO instead of UDP datagrams.

-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.

-m hoplimit

Specify maximum hoplimit.

-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 send probes to a local host through an interface that has no route through it (e.g., after the interface was dropped by route6d(8)).

-s src

Src specifies the source IPv6 address to be used.

-v

Be verbose.

-w waittime

Specify the delay time between probes.

EXIT STATUS

The traceroute6 command exits 0 on success, and >0 on errors.
