I would like to know if it is possible to do like a traceroute but on layer 2.
Unfortunately, nothing like this exists due to the difference in the way layer 3 and layer 2 protocols work (at least ethernet, atm, and ppp). Layer 2 information is always local to the current segment/link. You'll have to discover your ip nodes and then collect layer 2 information some other way (which often requires connecting to them; it could be SNMP or something else depending on the device).
