# Traceroute

Use this diagnostic tool to display the route (path) of packets across the IP network. You can enter the hostname or IP address of any endpoint and then perform a "traceroute" to it.

To run a traceroute:

1. On the MBG main page, click the Troubleshooting tab, and click Diagnostics.
2. Beside Traceroute, click Run.
3. In the Traceroute destination field, enter the IP address or hostname of the endpoint (for example, www.mitel.com).
4. In the Traceroute protocol list, select the protocol: TCP, UDP, or ICMP.
5. In the Traceroute destination port field, enter the destination port. The default for TCP is 80 (web server). Enter 33434 for UDP.
6. Click Run traceroute. Test results are displayed.
