About Traceroute
Packet loss rate between hosts. The following ping options are available: Gateway is ping visible: The gateway responds to ICMP echo request packets. This feature is enabled by default. Ping from gateway: You can use the ping command on the gateway. This feature is enabled by default. Gateway forwards pings: The gateway forwards ICMP echo request and echo response packets originating from an internal network, i.e., a network without default gateway. Note – If enabled, the ping settings also allow traceroute ICMP packets, even if the corresponding traceroute settings are disabled. Traceroute Settings The program traceroute is a computer network tool used to determine the route taken by packets across an IP network. It lists the IP addresses of the routers that were involved in transporting the packet. If the packet's route cannot be determined within a certain time frame, traceroute will report an asterisk (*) instead of the IP address. After a certain number of failures, the check will end. An interruption of the check can have many causes, but most likely it is caused by a firewall along the network path that blocks traceroute packets. The following traceroute options are available: Gateway is traceroute visible: The gateway responds to traceroute packets. Gateway forwards traceroute: The gateway forwards traceroute packets originating from an internal network, i.e., a network without default gateway. Note – The bridge mode in Sophos UTM uses the packet filter to allow the traffic to pass Sophos UTM, e.g., web surfing traffic. In this case, the options Allow ICMP through gateway, Gateway forwards pings and Gateway forwards traceroute will not work in bridge mode. Note – In addition, the ports for UNIX traceroute applications are opened, too. Note – If enabled, the traceroute settings also allow ping packets, even if the corresponding ping settings are disabled.

Continuous Traceroute To use the Continuous Traceroute feature of VisualRoute you need to do the following: 1) Enter the IP/host you want to perform a continuous traceroute for into the "trace" text box at the top of the VisualRoute interface. 2) Click the "More Tools" drop down menu and click the continuous traceroute icon. See below for an example: A continuous traceroute is a rolling, live traceroute which updates to reflect real-time changes to the monitored route. When the traceroute starts you will see the toolbar as shown below. This toolbar allows you to perform various tasks, for more information on what these buttons do click here. The drop down menu can be used to change the type of traceroute you are performing without starting a new one, the three options are shown below. If you choose the run every 1 minute option you can then click the 1 to change the value, for example run the traceroute every 5 minutes.
