I would be grateful if someone could provide an answer or point me to the answer for the following.
Having recently installed X5420f switches running Exos 32.2.x.x. I have found that traceroutes to certain destinations drop although from a different vendor switch on the same network pass to the final destination. I believe this is due to the Extreme switch seeing one of the hops as being an unrouteable address although this is indeed valid. I have tried using the Vr Vr-default as well as from the local IP both have the same outcome
Is there a way of forcing the switch to see the hop IP as valid?
I have included parts of the trace 1st from the Extreme switch and second from a Brocade switch on the same site using the same network and gateway. The traceroute on both switches is the same up to the point it drops on the Extreme
