Syntax Help for Pathping Utility Shows Incorrect Options (244602)

SYMPTOMS

You can use the command-line Pathping utility to troubleshoot IP connectivity issues. The Pathping utility combines features from the Ping and Tracert utilities, and has additional features not found in those utilities.

Typing pathping by itself displays the syntax Help. The "Usage" section of the syntax Help displays the following information:

Usage: 
pathping [-n] [-h maximum_hops] [-g host-list] [-p period]
         [-q num_queries] [-w timeout] [-t] [-R] [-r] target_name
				

The following options are incorrect:

• -r: There is no -r option (lowercase).
• -t: This should be uppercase (-T).

The "Options" section of the syntax Help displays the options correctly:

-n               Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.<BR/>
-h maximum_hops  Maximum number of hops to search for target.<BR/>
-g host-list     Loose source route along host-list.<BR/>
-p period        Wait period milliseconds between pings.<BR/>
