I'm not able to reproduce this here, though I do not have any vlan interfaces. Can you provide information on reproducing your setup? Also, the example vip-up/vip-down scripts use /sbin/ip to bring the interface up/down. I'd be interested to see how that works; Can you give that a shot and report back here? > Can anyone confirm if ucarp supports IPv6? No, ucarp does not support IPv6, this is a known issue[1]. The interface mentioned above isn't IPv6, is it? > Is there an alternative to ucarp?
