    • In the Max Hop field, enter the maximum number of hops that the trace route can take.
    • In the Timeout (Milliseconds) field, enter how many milliseconds a route can take before the trace route is stopped.

execute traceroute <IPv4_address_or_host_name> <maximum_number_of_hops> <number_of_probes> <maximum_number_of_milliseconds>

For example:

get router info routing-table 8.8.8.8

execute traceroute 8.8.8.8 16 5 15
