Hi, I'm running two obsd 4.4-current boxes as firewall / vpn-endpoints hot-standby (no balancing). I configured carp like this:
Master: carp3: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:01 carp: MASTER carpdev vlan32 vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 9 groups: carp inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:101%carp3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xc inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast XX.XX.XX.XX Slave: carp3: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:00:5e:00:01:01 carp: BACKUP carpdev vlan32 vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 100 groups: carp inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:101%carp3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xc inet XX.XX.XX.XX netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast XX.XX.XX.XX I'm running pfsync and it's working fine (did several tcp / ping tests switching several time). But if the master boots it will become master before sasyncd is able to sync status and all ipsec connections get dropped (ATM I have three monowall www.m0n0.ch/wall endpoints). The question is how I have to handle this setup. Do I have to play with advbase? I don't think it's a good idea to trust delays hoping that sasyncd will do it's job before the first machine becomes master again. Is there a way to wait for sasyncd or something like that? Here's the exact version: # sysctl kern.version kern.version=OpenBSD 4.4-beta (GENERIC) #987: Wed Jul 23 15:39:48 MDT 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC Please let me know if you need further informations.
