traceroute fabric unicast-flow

Syntax

Description

Trace the path taken by a specific unicast flow (ping) operation across a VLAN on the QFabric system from a source maintenance endpoint (FMEP) to a destination FMEP. The source and destination FMEPs may be on the same Node device, different Node devices connected to the same Interconnect device, or different Node devices connected to different Interconnect devices.

The flow path is the sequence of Packet Forwarding Engine forwarding hops along which the protocol data unit (PDU) travels. The hop-by-hop sequence and number of hops are reported in terms of fabric maintenance intermediate points (FMIPs), which are interfaces on the Packet Forwarding Engine of the Interconnect device. An FMIP sends a response to the source FMEP when the traceroute PDU is received.

Options

dest-fmep-id source-fmep-id

(Optional) ID of the destination FMEP of the traceroute operation.

flow-spec-name flow-specification-name

Name of the flow specification that defines the parameters of the traceroute operation.

fma-name fma-name

Name of the FMA that associates a VLAN with the FMEPs.

forced-fte-interface fte-interface

(Optional) Option to force the fabric ping operation to use the specified FTE interface to inject the PDU into the fabric instead of using the internal forwarding path lookup table to determine the FTE interface.

source-fmep-id source-fmep-id

(Optional) ID of the FMEP that is the source of the traceroute operation.

verbose

(Optional) Detailed version of the output display.

Required Privilege Level

interface—To view this statement in the configuration.

interface-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
