Steps to Reproduce

We have some wireless radio devices that connect sites. in every site the LAN interfaces on this devices is connected to Switch and documented, also WLAN interfaces are connected together via wireless link. In every device we create a bridge1 interface and bridged the WLAN and LAN interface into it.

Expected Behavior

------------------
|                |
|      SW01      |
|                |
-----| LAN |------
        |
        | Cable
        |
-----| LAN |------
|                |  \
|WirelessDevice01|   bridge1
|                |  /
-----| WLAN |-----
        |
        | Wireless Link
        |
-----| WLAN |-----
|                |  \
|WirelessDevice02|   bridge1
|                |  /
-----| LAN |------
        |
        | Cable
        |
-----| LAN |------
|                |
|      SW02      |
|                |
------------------

Observed Behavior

The Cable trace just shown the Cable path and not the bridge area or wireless link was shown in trace as excepted. wireless link can traced exclusively but just shown wireless link.

This is expected behavior. Any number of interfaces can be attached to a bridge group, so the cable trace cannot assume the next hop. If you'd like to enable tracing directly across these, you can bridge the LAN and WLAN interfaces to one another directly.
