Finding Available Network Paths Using 
PathTracer
Cisco PathTracer uses Prime Network’s inner logic to show available paths between two network 
elements. It creates a virtual path, without modifying any real network elements, and shows all devices 
and components the path flows through, including performance data. 
The following topics describe Cisco PathTracer and how to use it:

  Launching Path Tracer
In MPLS and Carrier Ethernet environments, Cisco PathTracer can trace paths across: 
Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) configurations—A path trace along a CSC flow follows the path 
from the customer CE through the customer carrier VPN, across the customer backbone carrier 
VPN, back to the customer carrier VPN, and to the destination CE.
VLANs—A path trace across VLANs...

point.
Path Traces and Blocked Ports
The following conditions apply for blocked ports: 
You can launch a path trace from a blocked port. This action is equivalent to launching a path trace 
from a bridge.
You can specify a blocked port as a destination.
