Thankfully HP has started to use healthier, securitywise (compared to their competitors), default values meaning you dont need to manually disable stuff - you must manually enable stuff instead.

 

One such thing is how the device behaves regarding various ICMP-based traffic.

 

In your case you need to enable this option in the configuration if you want your device to start to show up in your traceroutes:

 

 ip ttl-expires enable

thanks for the reply

 

the case :--as we know ICMP is disable by default, so i enable ip ttl-expires .Ya after that i am getting tracert information of each hop.

 

But a new senerio :--

 

say  i am having office at terkey and one more office at india,when i do tracert from terkey to india. I am getting get hop,but when its hit my HP switch its shows Request time out.

 

Kindly suggest

 

Thanks in advance

Please find Image attached

firewall--------gatway-192.168.100.254
|
hp l3 switch----gatway-192.168.100.240
|
l2 switch

users

if it do tracert 8.8.8.8 it will hit
1. vlan gatway
2. firewall

Re: Request Time Out - While tracert from outside of the N/W.

Then what about ACLs on this switch?

 

Any that blocks icmp of some type or such?

What IP address is your switch using to respond to the ICMP packet?

Is that IP address routable? is it NATd?

At my Hp switch

 

static-route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.240---static route enable to hit the packert to firewall to reach internet.

 

nating is done at firewall.
