    Packet Tracer - Testing Connectivity with Traceroute

    Topology

    Objectives
    Part 1: Test End-to-End Connectivity with the tracert Command
    Part 2: Compare to the traceroute Command on a Router

    Background
    This activity is designed to help you troubleshoot network connectivity issues using commands to trace the
    route from source to destination. You are required to examine the output of tracert (the Windows command)
    and traceroute (the IOS command) as packets traverse the network and determine the cause of a network
    issue. After the issue is corrected, use the tracert and traceroute commands to verify the completion.

    Part 1: Test End-to-End Connectivity with the tracert Command


    Step 1: Send a ping from one end of the network to the other end.
    Click PC1 and open the Command Prompt. Ping PC3 at 10.1.0.2. What message is displayed as a result of
    the ping?
    _______________________________________________________________________________________
    _______________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 2: Trace the route from PC1 to determine where in the path connectivity fails.
    a. From the Command Prompt of PC1, enter the tracert 10.1.0.2 command.
    b. When you receive the Request timed out message, press Ctrl+C. What was the first IP address listed in
    the tracert output?
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    c.

    Observe the results of the tracert command. What is the last address reached with the tracert
    command? _________________________________________________

    Step 3: Correct the network problem.

    Compare the last address reached with the tracert command with the network addresses listed on the
    topology. The furthest device from the host 10.0.0.2 with an address in the network range found is the
    point of failure. What devices have addresses configured for the network where the failure occurred?
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    d. Click RouterC and then the CLI tab. What is the status of the interfaces?
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    e. Compare the IP addresses on the interfaces with the network addresses on the topology. Does there
    appear to be anything extraordinary?
    ____________________________________________________________________________________
    f.

    Make the necessary changes to restore connectivity; however, do not change the subnets. What is
    solution?
    ____________________________________________________________________________________

    Step 4: Verify that end-to-end connectivity is established.


    g. From the PC1 Command Prompt, enter the tracert 10.1.0.2 command.
    h. Observe the output from the tracert command. Was the command successful? _____________________

    Part 2: Compare to the traceroute Command on a Router


    i.

    Click RouterA and then the CLI tab.

    j.

    Enter the traceroute 10.1.0.2 command. Did the command complete successfully? _________________

    k.

    Compare the output from the router traceroute command with the PC tracert command. What is
    noticeably different about the list of addresses returned?
