traceroute6 <ip6-address> [vrfid <vrf-id>] [source <ip6-address>]

Trace the route to the specified IPv6 address.

The vrfid argument specifies which VRF to send the traceroute packets from. You can get a list of available VRFs with the get logical-routers command.

The source argument specifies which source IP address to use for traceroute. This may be required in some circumstances for traceroute to work as expected. For example, if there is overlap in IP addresses used in the tier 0 and tier 1 router transit subnets, traceroute packets from the tier 0 VRF will not reach virtual machines on networks routed by the tier 1 router. If you use the source argument to specify a unique IP used by that VRF (in this case, the tier 0 uplink IP) the traceroute packets will reach the virtual machines.

Parameters:

<ip-address> Network IPv6 address argument
<vrf-id> VRF ID argument
