D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

The following fields are displayed:
Parameter
Description
Target IP Address
Enter the IP address of the computer or network device you want to discover
the route between the switch and this device.
TTL
This is the Time-to-Live parameter or the number of “hops” that the switch will
check between itself and the device you are trying to discover the route to.
Port
This is the port number that the switch will use to communicate with the remote
device.
Timeout
This specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the switch will wait for a
response from any given hop in the route.
Probe
This instructs the switch to set the base UDP port number (default is 33434)
such that an ICMP Port Unreachable will terminate the route tracing.
In this
mode, Trace Route is hoping that no device is listening on UDP port number
“base” to “base+probe” at the destination host. The UDP port number will be
increased by one until the “probe” value is reached.
You can select between 1
and 9 UDP port increments.
Save Changes
The DES-6500 has two levels of memory; normal RAM and non-volatile or NV-RAM.
Configuration changes are made effective clicking the
Apply
button
.
When this is done, the
settings will be immediately applied to the switching software in RAM, and will immediately
take effect.
