mac-address: MAC address of the device to be traced.
vlan vlan-id: Specifies to trace a device in the specified VLAN. vlan-id ranges from 1 to 4094.

Description
Use the tracemac command to trace a device in a cluster through the specified destination MAC
address or IP address, and to display the path from the current device to the destination device.
When using the destination IP address to trace a device, the switch looks up the ARP entry
corresponding to the IP address, and then looks up the MAC address entry according to the ARP
entry.
If the queried IP address has a corresponding ARP entry, but the corresponding MAC address of
the IP address does not exist in the MAC address table, 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.
