Weird tracert from separate devices

Hi All -

Having some weird things happen that I can't figure out. Hopefully I can explain. I have three devices: my PC, an AP and my wireless controller.

  • PC - 10.200.0.99/16
  • AP - 10.5.16.11/24
  • Controller - 10.5.1.32/24

I'm having trouble getting my AP to adopt over L3. From my PC with a tracert I get:

Code: 
C:\Users\veedubbs>tracert 10.5.16.11

Tracing route to 10.5.16.11 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1     1 ms     1 ms     1 ms  10.200.0.1
  2     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  3     3 ms     3 ms     3 ms  10.255.70.2
  4     2 ms     4 ms    10 ms  10.5.16.11

Trace complete.

From my controller I get:

Code: 
VX9000-Primary#traceroute 10.5.16.11
traceroute to 10.5.16.11 (10.5.16.11), 30 hops max, 46 byte packets
 1  *  *  *
 2  *  *  *
 3  10.255.70.2 (10.255.70.2)  3.814 ms  2.627 ms  3.049 ms
 4  *  *  *

...

29  *  *  *
30  *  *  *

As you can see -- they both know to take the hop to 10.255.70.2, but the controller can't find the device beyond that hop.

I am also able to ping from my PC, but NOT from the controller.

The device is clearly on the network as I can ping it and see it in the ARP table:

Code: 
Johnson-1# show arp vlan 5

 IP ARP table - VLAN 5

  IP Address       MAC Address       Type    Port
  ---------------  ----------------- ------- ----
  10.5.16.11       00193b-82a98e     dynamic G2

It also seems like the routing is not problematic as they both take the appropriate hop. I feel like I am missing something terribly simple.

Hopefully I've given somewhat of a clear picture. Ideas?
 
I know you say it's not a routing problem, but your ICMP traffic might be getting to the end device, but echoes are not returning. Verify your routing.
 
Also ensure a firewall isn't blocking ICMP
 
* dont mean much any more, a lot of devices rate limit ICMP packets especially ISP's side of things.

do a tcp trace to get slightly better results.
