Package: ucarp Version: 1.5~snap080222-1 Severity: important PROBLEM: I have two boxes, at this moment configuration is simple:
1. Six ethernet interfaces. Active: eth0 (tg3) and eth2 (e1000) 2. 802.1q vlans (eth0.2, eth0.9) on eth0 interface 3. Communication between box1 and box2 on interface eth2 After start of daemons on both machines I don't saw any proper communication - both ucarps entered into MASTER mode. I notice that after putting interface in promisc mode (caused by tcpdump) communication happened and one of ucarps enter in BACKUP mode. After terminating tcpdump communication died and BACKUP change mode to MASTER. 'netstat -g' shows, that 'VRRP.MCAST.NET' is bounded to incorrect interface (vlan on eth0 - eth0.2 instead eth2). lb1(master):/usr/local/sbin# netstat -g IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships Interface RefCnt Group --------------- ------ --------------------- lo 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth1 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth2 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0.2 1 VRRP.MCAST.NET eth0.2 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0.9 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET lo 1 ip6-allnodes eth0 1 ff02::1:ff6f:672a%lo eth0 1 ip6-allnodes eth1 1 ip6-allnodes eth2 1 ff02::1:ffc5:b454%lo eth2 1 ip6-allnodes eth3 1 ip6-allnodes eth4 1 ip6-allnodes eth5 1 ip6-allnodes eth0.2 1 ff02::1:ff6f:672a%lo eth0.2 1 ip6-allnodes eth0.9 1 ff02::1:ff6f:672a%lo eth0.9 1 ip6-allnodes SOLUTION: After some tests (I test different interfaces in case problems with hardware or driver) i try to compile latest release of ucarp (version 1.5). After that problem gone away (communication occurs and group is bounded to valid interface): lb2(backup):~# netstat -g IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships Interface RefCnt Group --------------- ------ --------------------- lo 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth2 1 VRRP.MCAST.NET eth2 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0.2 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET eth0.9 1 ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET lo 1 ip6-allnodes eth0 1 ff02::1:ff6f:d920%lo eth0 1 ip6-allnodes eth1 1 ip6-allnodes eth2 1 ff02::1:ffc6:c100%lo eth2 1 ip6-allnodes eth3 1 ip6-allnodes eth4 1 ip6-allnodes eth5 1 ip6-allnodes eth0.2 1 ff02::1:ff6f:d920%lo eth0.2 1 ip6-allnodes eth0.9 1 ff02::1:ff6f:d920%lo eth0.9 1 ip6-allnodes Changes between snapshot in Debian and official release are relatively small, so I think that ucarp 1.5 can be incorporated into distribution without any troubles. I'm using actual (from 2008.08.25) Debian testing (lenny) with kernel 2.6.25-2-686. -- Piotr 'aniou' Meyer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
