DF (don't fragment) bit

English Network/Internet
#1

Hello to everyone. I’m newbie with linux and here on this forum. I have some problems with the Stunnel and cant find the problem. I have some ideas how to fix it, but i need some help firs.

Can someone tell me what is the appropriate comand on the shell console for the cmd comand “tracert”, and can you tell me where in the Linux i can set the DF(don’t fragment) bit.

I use SUSE Linux 10.3

Thx in advance.

The Linux equivalents would be traceroute and tracepath. You’ll need the net-tools package for them.

traceroute

Usually in /usr/sbin/traceroute. If not you will have to install the net-tools package. You don’t need root privilege to run it but it is probably not in a normal user’s path.

You normally don’t need to fiddle with the DF bit to use traceroute but the option is there. See man traceroute for all the options.

Be aware that Unix traceroute uses a slightly different method from Windows tracert by default, but there’s an option to use the ICMP method.

True… /usr/sbin/traceroute is on SLED by default even but it is not
in a normal user’s path though calling it manually works. I suspect
this is fairly common among the various suse builds.

Good luck.
