Traceroute from a VLAN

Am I missing something here or there is no way from the Dashboard to do a traceroute from the MX as if you were on one of the internal VLAN. It seems you can only do a traceroute from an Internet interface?

 

We need to be able to see the exact path a device on a specific VLAN takes to specific destination without having to jump on to the host.

Kind of a big deal

Unfortunately traceroute is only available for WAN interfaces.

 

You can have a virtual machine to run the tests when needed.

You just need to think outside the box sometimes.

why don't you want to traceroute from a workstation? The result will be the same.

Not in all case you will have access from a workstation and or need to quickly check for issue before contacting the user and jumping on their workstation.

 

Example we have a network where there are only custom Andriod devices with no way to do a traceroute from them.
