Any one > else seen an issue where both routers in a CARP group would stop > responding on all interfaces and require a reboot.? I haven't seen a hard lock in quite some time. Is this just a standard CARP setup or is there anything special going on like bridging? Were they really locked up? Was the console unresponsive, or perhaps at a debug prompt? Have you eliminated any external factors such as power/environment? Usually if it were some kind of traffic it would do something to the master, cause it to fail, and then a short time later cause the backup to fail. It wouldn't typically hit both of them simultaneously. That said, depending on your hardware, you might also want to visit this page and apply some of the suggested settings: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards Jim Jim This is a two system carp I have for intel nic's in each system. I am running the nanobsd verson when I plugged in the serial cable I got the console on both systems but No ethernet traffice would flow as these are production units I rebooted them to get them back on line. As far as enviromental they were both plutted into two seperate UPS power supplies and each wan port was plugged into a different switch on our providers side. I too was perplexed how somthing could take out both units like this. It does not make any sense to me I am leaning to some kind of enviromental issue. everthing has been backup several days and working great. I am just corssing my fingers that it does not happen again before I can figure out what caused it. I will check out the link Thanks Bryant
