Layer 2 traceroute

December 5, 2008

I discovered layer 2 traceroutes the other day. Very easy to trackdown which port the MAC address is connected and also to see which/how many switches the traffic is flowing through. Something a regular traceroute will not show.

switch#traceroute mac 0000.0000.0000 0000.0000.0000
