Usage Guidelines For Layer 2 traceroute to function properly, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled on all the
switches in the network. Do not disable CDP.
Layer 2 traceroute is available only on network node interfaces (NNIs).
Note
When the switch detects an device in the Layer 2 path that does not support Layer 2 traceroute, the switch
continues to send Layer 2 trace queries and lets them time out.
The maximum number of hops identified in the path is ten.
The traceroute mac ip command output shows the Layer 2 path when the specified source and
destination IP addresses are in the same subnet. When you specify the IP addresses, the switch uses
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to associate the IP addresses with the corresponding MAC addresses
and the VLAN IDs.
