In older releases of JUNOS (before 17.x) the feature to traceroute any destination IP using the port number option was not available.
This article demonstrates how to achieve this using the shell.
In old releases (before17.x), there is no port options while doing the traceroute in the CLI:
root@Device> traceroute ? Possible completions: <host> Hostname or address of remote host as-number-lookup Look up AS numbers for each hop bypass-routing Bypass routing table, use specified interface gateway Address of router gateway to route through inet Force traceroute to IPv4 destination inet6 Force traceroute to IPv6 destination interface Name of interface to use for outgoing traffic monitor Monitor network connection to remote host mpls Trace MPLS paths no-resolve Don't attempt to print addresses symbolically overlay Traceroute overlay path propagate-ttl Enable propagate-ttl for locally sourced RE traffic routing-instance Name of routing instance for traceroute attempt source Source address to use in outgoing traceroute packets tos IP type-of-service field (IPv4) (0..255) ttl IP maximum time-to-live value (or IPv6 maximum hop-limit value) wait Number of seconds to wait for response (seconds)
To perform a traceroute with port number option:
{master:0} root@Device> start shell root@Device:RE:0% traceroute -p 443 8.8.8.8 traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 10.85.151.131 (10.85.151.131) 13.830 ms 20.162 ms 21.959 ms 2 10.85.128.129 (10.85.128.129) 0.947 ms 0.904 ms 0.980 ms
