Hello, has anyone ever had a situation where a ping to a destination fails, but a traceroute to the same destionation succeeds ?Then immediately after that successful traceroute, you repeat the ping and it works fine.I am pinging from a layer 3 switch, source interface address out to 8.8.8.8 via a WAN provider.Weird situation. I was thinking it may be representative of a routing loop ?Has anyone encountered this before, i.e a ping failing, but a traceroute tp same address working ?Thanks kindly for any help
