I was trying to setup a test of CARP on two virtual machines
running in
VirtualBox 4.2.4r81684 I am not sure if I have something wrong
with my CARP
configuration or if VirtualBox just doesn't work right with it.
I can only
ping the CARP interface IP address from the machine listed as
MASTER, if I
do an ifconfig carp0 down on the MASTER the other machine
correctly switches
form BACKUP to MASTER and then I can ping the interface from it
but not from
the Original system.
The VirtualBox systems are both using bridged networking, and the
host
cannot ping the carp0 IP address but can ping the interface IP
address.
Before I go through more trouble shooting, does anyone know if
CARP
doesn't work with VirtualBox?
carp configuration
Machine1:
ifconfig_em0="UP"
ifconfig_em0_name="LAN"
ipv4_addrs_LAN="10.20.190.201/16"
defaultrouter="10.20.111.2"
cloned_interfaces="carp0"
ifconfig_carp0="vhid 1 advskew 100 pass ReduntantCarpTest
10.20.190.203/16
ifconfig carp0:

inet 10.20.190.203 netmask 0xffff0000
nd6 options=29<PREFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 100
Machine2:
ifconfig_em0="UP"
ifconfig_em0_name="LAN"
ipv4_addrs_LAN="10.20.190.202/16"
defaultrouter="10.20.111.2"

carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
FreeBSD version is 9.1RC3 on both test machines.
We're using FreeBSD and CARP in virtualized environments at work,
albeit not on VirtualBox but on Proxmox/KVM.
First, I would advise replacing 10.20.190.203/16 with
10.20.190.203/32
I notice your carp0 is MASTER on machine1 with an advskew of 100
vs
machine 2 advskew 0, same advbase.
Confirm this is *after* you've set carp0 down on machine2.
If both carps are up and machine1 with advskew 100 beats machine2
with advskew 0, you have an additional problem.
See if you have any more luck with the /32 address on carp0
anyway.
The documentation shows the mask matching that of the interface:
hostname="hostb.example.org"
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 192.168.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"
cloned_interfaces="carp0"
ifconfig_carp0="vhid 2 pass testpass 192.168.1.51/24"
This is consistent with the man page for CARP on the system as
well.
Regardless I tried with the /32 and had the same result as I did
with
the /16. I had done various UP/DOWN on interfaces so the current
MASTER was just the last one to have not been DOWN. I think I
might
just copy these VMs to my VMWARE Workstation 9 install on my home
PC
after work tonight and see if the problem persists.
The behavior definitely changed going from VirtualBox to VMWare, the
only
change in my configuration was the IP addresses to match the home
network.
However now I can talk to the carp interface form other machines,
but they
receive two response one from each of the test systems. TCPDUMP
shows that
they are each seeing the others broadcasts, but for some reason they
are
both running as MASTER. If you run a DOWN/UP on the interface, it
briefly
shows as BACKUP before switching to MASTER. I tried with both /24
subnet of
my home network, and setting the carp0 interface to /32, both
behaved the
same. Any one have any other ideas, as to whether this comes down
to a
Virtual Network Issue, or a setup issue on my part.
Well, it definitely works here for us on Proxmox/KVM.
When you tcpdump on your either host, do you see the CARP
advertisements from the other ?
FInd below the advertisements as seen from our CARP backup firewall:
$ sudo tcpdump -ni vlan14 vrrp
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol
decode
listening on vlan14, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96
bytes
10:11:09.084568 IP 195.158.240.[snip] > 224.0.0.18: VRRPv2,
Advertisement, vrid 114, prio 50, authtype none, intvl 1s, length 36

10:11:11.481075 IP 195.158.240.[snip] > 224.0.0.18: VRRPv2,

Proabbly should have been more clear early when I mentioned I could see
the others broadcasts, this is what I menat, yes they do see the others
advertisements. It most definitely was virtual network related, found
some information on the pfSense wiki that directed me to the advanced
settings on the ethernet adapters within the VirtualBox network settings
on the virtual machines. Promiscuous mode was set to Deny, change this
to Enable All, problem solved on VirtualBox, CARP is now working as
intended. Still haven't figured out a fix for the issue I discovered
in VMware, found a lot of things about changing adapters permissions on
Linux hosts to allow promiscuous mode, and suspect it is a permissions
issue with the Windows 7 host, but I haven't found out how to fix it
yet. However I now know my configuration works and its not a FreeBSD
issue.
