The Windows tracert and Unix/Linux (and Cisco) traceroute commands are designed to track packets taken from an IP network on their way to a given host.
Thus they are not for MAC addresses within a VLAN. Cisco's traceroute mac is special, that it operates on layer 2 instead of layer 3.

Maybe you are looking for information provided by the arp command?
