Multiple same IP address hops

[sandyblaza]

We have ACI that peer on fortigate firewall via OSPF on a vPC, and the ACI is configured as our gateway.

On our traceroute we have seen multiple hops with the same IP address like on the scenario below:

'From server to server within the same tenant.

traceroute 10.10.4.45

1 10.10.2.1    ----- server gateway

2 10.10.2.1

3 10.10.2.1

4  10.10.4.45

From server to server but the different tenants.

traceroute 10.10.4.45

1  10.10.20.1    ----- server gateway

2  1.1.1.1          ----- loopback

3  172.16.1.123 ---- primary SVI

4  172.16.1.123

5 10.10.4.45

Please see the diagram in the attachment.

You need to use service graph, APIC administrator can then associate policies with the traffic path which administrator can define in Cisco ACI.

Hi @sandyblaza 

It's expected. Most likely you are pinging between servers connected to different leafs. Since you have a distributed anycast gateway, it's expected to see the same next hop multiple times.

Stay safe,
