tracert-livetime (Path jitter test instance)

Function

The tracert-livetime command sets the lifetime of a Path jitter test instance.

The undo tracert-livetime command restores the default lifetime.

By default, the initial TTL of packets is 1, and the maximum TTL of packets is 30.

Format

tracert-livetime first-ttl first-ttl max-ttl max-ttl

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

To set the minimum and maximum lifetime of a test instance, run the tracert-livetime command. This prevents endless traveling of test packets in routing on the network.

Configuration Impact

When configuring first-ttl and max-ttl, ensure that max-ttl is not smaller than max-ttl; otherwise, the configuration fails.

Precautions

If parameters need to be changed during the running of the test instance, the system prompts you whether to terminate the test instance. Press "Y" or "N" as required.

If you press "Y", the test instance is terminated and parameters changed. The settings take effect after being committed. To restart the test instance, run the start command.
If you press "N", the test instance keeps running, and the parameters fail to be modified.

Example

# Set the lifetime of the test instance named user test, with the initial TTL 5 and the maximum TTL 20.
