traceroute over a VLAN

I know I can use tcpdump -i VLAN_name and only see traffic on that VLAN. The MAN page for traceroute reference a -i option as the interface used to send packets, but I get the following error when I try to use traceroute -i internal_vlan_87 172.31.87.5.

 

 

 

setsockopt SO_BINDTODEVICE: No such device

 

 

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    is vlan name really correct? 

    [root@ve1023:Active] config  b vlan internal list
vlan internal {
   tag 4093
   interfaces 1.2
}

[root@ve1023:Active] config  traceroute -i internal 200.200.200.101
traceroute to 200.200.200.101 (200.200.200.101), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  200.200.200.101 (200.200.200.101)  4.583 ms  4.547 ms  4.531 ms

[root@ve1023:Active] config  traceroute -i fake 200.200.200.101
traceroute to 200.200.200.101 (200.200.200.101), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

    thanks for the nudge in the right direction tmsh show /net vlan showed the name is actually internal_vlan~3

    Mm... You may want to keep your vlan names shorter than 16 characters... That was an old one from way back 9.0.3 IIRC...
