RE: breaking into a traceroute

Not exactly breaking it, but here's a tip I use to shorten troublesome
traceroutes:

Router#tr 1.1.1.1 num pr 1 ti 1 ttl 1 20

That translates as "traceroute 1.1.1.1 numeric probe 1 timeout 1 ttl 1
20".

I usually have ip domain-lookup active on production equipment, so the
"numeric" option allows me to selectively turn it off if I don't want
DNS resolution. If it's an internal trace, I'll usually set the max TTL
to 10 instead of 20 (10 hops is also usually plenty to give you a good
look at any routing loop issues in lab scenarios). Twenty hops covers
most (but certainly not all) Internet destinations these days.

Hi,

I would suggest CTRL+SHIFT+6 to break traceroute.

I will also suggest to configure "no ip domain-lookup" to avoid time it
takes to resolve hotname to IP address. It will definitely boost your
tracertoute.
