Test the network connectivity between Device A and Device C. If they cannot reach each other, locate the
failed nodes in the network.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure the IP addresses for devices as shown in Figure 3.
2. Configure a static route on Device A.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.2
[DeviceA] quit
3. Use the ping command to test connectivity between Device A and Device C.
<DeviceA> ping 1.1.2.2
Ping 1.1.2.2(1.1.2.2): 56 -data bytes, press escape sequence to break

The output shows that Device A and Device C cannot reach each other.
4. Use the tracert command to identify failed nodes:
# Enable sending of ICMP timeout packets on Device B.
<DeviceB> system-view
[DeviceB] ip ttl-expires enable
# Enable sending of ICMP destination unreachable packets on Device C.
<DeviceC> system-view
[DeviceC] ip unreachables enable
# Execute the tracert command on Device A.
<DeviceA> tracert 1.1.2.2
traceroute to 1.1.2.2(1.1.2.2) 30 hops at most,40 bytes each packet, press escape
sequence to break

The output shows that Device A can reach Device B but cannot reach Device C, which indicates
that an error has occurred on the connection between Device B and Device C.
