traceprobe hops

Sets the minimum and maximum hop count for the traceroute.

traceprobe hops min <min> max <max>
 
no traceprobe hops
 

• min-- 1 through 255 the minimum number of hops for a destination to be a valid target of a traceroute
• max--1 through 255 the maximum number of hops allowed by a traceroute to a destination

Must be in active-measurement group configuration mode (config-engine-active), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once per active-measurement group

min = 2

max = 31

The traceprobe retries-per-hop command sets the minimum and maximum hop count for the traceroute. The minimum number of hops determines the distance, in hops, from that traceroute will start its probe (for example, the default value of 2 typically excludes the border router between and the Internet). The maximum number of hops limits the distance, in hops, from that traceroute will probe.

Use the no form of the command to reset the value of count to its default.
