What command can be used for troubleshooting on RouterOS?

Using both Ping and Traceroute commands in RouterOS is essential for effective network troubleshooting.

The Ping command sends ICMP Echo Request packets to a specific IP address and waits for a reply. This helps in verifying whether a specific host is reachable across the network. By checking the latency and response rate, network administrators can identify issues related to connectivity and monitor the responsiveness of devices in the network.

On the other hand, Traceroute provides insight into the path packets take to reach a destination. It shows each hop along the route and measures the time it takes for responses to be received from each router along that path. This is crucial for pinpointing where delays or failures are occurring in the communication process.

Since both Ping and Traceroute offer distinct yet complementary functionalities that enable a thorough assessment of network issues, utilizing them together is highly beneficial for proper troubleshooting in RouterOS environments.
