No it won't. A device is a hop, regardless of how many interfaces it has. And the hop will be listed as the IP on the network between the previous device and it self. See the following example:
C:\WINNT\system32>tracert -d condc1.itlogon.com Tracing route to condc1.itlogon.com [10.38.6.20] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 10.33.111.252 2 <10 ms <10 ms <10 ms 10.33.4.250 3 <10 ms 10 ms <10 ms 10.63.2.2 4 70 ms 60 ms 70 ms 10.63.3.2 5 70 ms 70 ms 70 ms 10.63.3.1 6 70 ms 70 ms 70 ms 10.38.4.3 7 71 ms 70 ms 70 ms 10.38.6.20 Trace complete. None of these are the same boxes. I believe some routers and firewalls can be configured with each port as a hop, such that they would be 2 hops, but most aren't, as that can significantly impact both performance and the total distance the packets will travel. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
