Hi James,
A traceroute is done on the layer 3 level (IP) whereas a bridge is a layer 2
device (MAC layer), unaware of layer 3 information. So a traceroute will
only show you layer 3 info, and not layer 2. So the answer is no, only layer
3 devices like routers will show up in a traceroute, not layer 2 devices
like switches.
Regards, Rene
