trace route

[aksher]

does a trace route always takes the route on the router/l3.

[pvanvuuren]

your question is a bit vague. Can you give more information?

[aksher]

the path should always be through router, l3 ?

Hello Aksher,

I really don't undertsand your question. Can you share more detail about it (maybe Network diagram or config). What you mean of I3 router?

since the router knows the route for the destination address, ofcourse YES for ur question.

eg.

ur pc ip 10.2.1.1

router ip 10.2.1.254

my pc ip 10.3.1.1

router ip 10.3.1.254

the route goes as follows

c:\tracert 10.3.1.1

Tracing route to [10.3.1.1]

over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.2.1.254

2 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.3.1.254

3 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 10.3.1.1

Trace complete.

hope this helps.
