ACI trace shows 2 entries for the source gateway IP ?

[Network_Sarovani]

Hi Experts , 

We have multipod setup , below trace is from node in MGT vrf to node in TEC vrf , but as you see at the beginning it gives 2 hops info for the same source gateway IP ... Does anyone knows if this is normal in ACI ? or any logic behind this ...

Note : In all our traces we see 2 entries for the source gateway IP 

C:\Users\SAROVANI>tracert 10.51.106.25

Tracing route to example.test.com [10.51.106.25]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

Hi @Network_Sarovani 

What you see is expected since you have a distributed GW. Most likely the `first hop` is the connected leaf, then the `second hop` is the service leaf where the MGT_FW is connected.

Stay safe,
