Which command performs a traceroute to 8.8.8.8?

• A. /tool traceroute 8.8.8.8
• B. /tool trace 8.8.8.8
• C. /traceroute 8.8.8.8
• D. /tool traceroute 8.8.8.8

Answer: (D)

In RouterOS, traceroute is executed through the /tool traceroute command. The correct form is /tool traceroute followed by the destination, so 8.8.8.8 is used here. This target is Google's public DNS server and a common endpoint for connectivity checks. The command sends probe packets with increasing TTL and reports each hop along the path, including the router at that hop and the round-trip time, helping you see where delays or failures occur on the route. Other forms that omit /tool or use a different command name don’t invoke the built-in traceroute tool in MikroTik, so they won’t work for this purpose.
