Cannot run Traceroute

Hi,

I'm trying to run a traceroute from the CLI and also windows pc but unfortunately it does not give me the full hops for troubleshooting.

From the policy settings, I've enabled the below configs:

 

From the interface:

 

Traceroute from CLI

 

Is there something blocking this or have i missed something?

    I would suggest pinging/trace route to non-DNS IPs to see what path you get. 

     

    That said, I have seen some (mostly satellite/dial up) ISPs deploying proxy/web accelerator software built into their gateway/router and/or deployed on their backend/haul.  If this is the case or you are not sure, I would log into the gateway device (if you can) can see what settings are listed.  Alternately, you can always contact your ISP support and they should be able to tell you.

    BTW your images haven't come through properly so nobody can really see to help

    one image won't help :) 

     

    What are you trying to diagnose though?  Anything to do with the firewall or things outside the firewall ? What IP address(es) are you testing from / to?  There's a myriad of reasons why other people's devices won't respond to ICMP so if you're relying on that for some reason, then you're bound to run into trouble...

    When I'm trying to do a trace to 8.8.8.8/other external ip addresses, it doesn't show me the full hopes for example:

     

    from a pc:

    C:\Users\SCE ADMIN>tracert 8.8.8.8

    Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8] over a maximum of 30 hops:

    1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.99 2 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 210.7.14.117 3 37 ms 37 ms 37 ms dns.google [8.8.8.8]

    Trace complete.

     

    From Firewall:

    Connected FGT80ETK18016278 # execute traceroute 8.8.8.8 traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 32 hops max, 3 probe packets per hop, 72 byte packets 1 210.7.14.117 1.307 ms 0.895 ms 0.718 ms 2 8.8.8.8 <dns.google> 36.938 ms 36.952 ms 36.952 ms

     

    Please note that the policy has been enabled for UDP and ICMP however when doing troubleshooting I still cant do a full traceroute 

     

    firewall model: FortiGate 80E  FGT80ETK18016278
