Notice the success rate is 100 % meaning you successfully reached the
destination router. Congratulations! If you have anything below 100% the
router has difficulty with making a network connection to the other router.
Finding the Point of Failure – traceroute
The traceroute command is used to find the actual path that packets took to
reach its destination. Instead of testing just end-to-end connectivity, as ping,
traceroute is used to check each link along the packet route.
Experiment with the traceroute command as we did with ping, starting with
the line command:
r1# traceroute IP address of destination
The trace command terminates when the destination responds, when the
maximum TTL is exceeded, or when the user interrupts the trace with the
escape sequence. To invoke the escape sequence, simultaneously press and
release the Ctrl, Shift, and 6 keys, and then press the X key.
8. Investigating the Hold Timers
EXERCISE 9: Viewing the Hold Timers____________________________
Hold timers specify the amount of time a receiving device should hold the
information sent by your device before discarding it. The default time
value for hold timers is 180 seconds. Let’s see how this works. While
connected to r1 change the hostname to a different router name.
Then telnet to r3, and enter:
r3# sh cdp neighbors
Repeat the sh cdp neighbors command for a few times as the hold timers
count down from 180 seconds. Notice that almost immediately the router
detects the new hostname and updates it in the cdp neighboring table. Also
notice that after 180 seconds time period elapses the old hostname for the
router was flushed out of the cdp neighbor table. Your results should be
similar to the ones as shown in the following window:
