Hi James, A traceroute is done on the layer 3 level (IP) whereas a bridge is a layer 2 device (MAC layer), unaware of layer 3 information. So a traceroute will only show you layer 3 info, and not layer 2. So the answer is no, only layer 3 devices like routers will show up in a traceroute, not layer 2 devices like switches.
