Routing table of VIOS7

=================

Switch#sh IP route 192.168.10.1
Routing entry for 192.168.10.0/24
Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 501, type intra area

========================================================================

I am doing traceroute from VIOS5 (Source IP:-192.168.10.1 & destination IP:-8.8.8.8)..

From  VIOS7 point of view, Gi0/1 is ingress interface of traceroute packet (As per VIOS 6 routing table)...

 

My query is when VIOS7 sending back time exceed ICMP message to 192.168.10.1 which IP would be the source address of the packet ? As per routing table interface GigabitEthernet0/2 is egress interface to reach 192.168.10.1.

 

In the traceroute report, it is showing ingress interface as source IP address instead of egress interface.

Switch#traceroute 8.8.8.8
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 8.8.8.8
VRF info: (vrf in name/id, vrf out name/id)

2 192.168.20.1 3 msec 4 msec 3 msec--->VIOS6 -GI0/1(Ingress int) (As per routing table of VIOS 7 gi0/2 is exit int)
3 192.168.40.2 4 msec 4 msec *

Why is it showing ingress interface IP as source of the time exceed ICMP message packet instead of egress interface  ?

Hello,

 

debug ip icmp

 

should show you the source address of the ICMP message.
