Not sure what equipment you are using but starting with CAT OS 6.1:
Layer 2 Traceroute The Layer 2 Traceroute utility allows you to identify the physical path that a packet will take when going from a source to a destination. The Layer 2 Traceroute utility determines the path by looking at the forwarding engine tables of the switches in the path. -----Original Message----- From: Lowell Sharrah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 9:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Layer 2 Test Tool [7:43484] cisco's CDP but you must have all cisco devices for this to work. >>> "Seelinger Bruce" 05/07/02 08:40AM >>> Does anyone know of a layer 2 connectivity test tool - something the equivalent of a MAC address based "ping" tool, (yes - I know that ping uses ICMP at layer 3, but you get the idea). Basically, have a bridged network where we want to perform a simple test to see if certain MAC filters are working appropriately. Need to probe a target node based on it's MAC address and see if it responds. Searched the net pretty extensively but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.
