downstream switch compares its own MAC address with the destination MAC address carried in

the multicast packet:

If the two MAC addresses are the same, the downstream switch sends a response to the switch

sending the tracemac command, indicating the success of the tracemac command.

If the two MAC addresses are different, the downstream switch will query the port connected with

its downstream switch based on the MAC address and VLAN ID, and then forward the packet to its

downstream switch. If within the specified hops, a switch with the specified destination MAC

address is found, this switch sends a response to the switch sending the tracemac command,

indicating the success of the tracemac command. If no switch with the specified destination MAC

address (or IP address) is found, the multicast packet will not be forwarded to the downstream any

If the queried IP address has a corresponding ARP entry, but the MAC address entry

corresponding to the IP address does not exist, the trace of the device fails.

To trace a specific device using the tracemac command, make sure that all the devices passed

support the tracemac function.

To trace a specific device in a management VLAN using the tracemac command, make sure that

all the devices passed are within the same management VLAN as the device to be traced.
