Hi @Rajvendra pratap singh 

Trace route

do name resolution if the path is on the internet. If you are using

traceroute

internally,  it may show only the IP address.

 What you can do is try to access the IP you see and get the  hostname or, if those IP are registered on the

dns

you can

ping -a

The command you mention you are running on Windows machine with power shell?

The answer from your explain'

The router IP must add to DNS to make
