Hi there, We currently have two OpenBSD 4.1 boxes acting in failover mode to serve some of our firewalling needs.
We are also using pfSense 2.0.1 and 1.2.2 for other firewalling needs. I'm planning to consolidate all these firewalls onto two pfSense 2.1 acting in failover mode, and finally shut down all these old boxes. We need to use 2.1 snapshots because our boxes are Dell PowerEdge R610 with the Perc H200 controller, unsupported in earlier releases. I didn't setup the two OpenBSD boxes, but I've noticed that for some vlans, their configuration doesn't seem to be complete wrt the following pfSense related documentation : http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_pfSense_Hardware_Redundancy_(CARP) While for most vlans each of two OpenBSD boxes has a distinct IP address and they share a third distinct IP address as the virtual one (for the carp interface), on a few vlans only the carp interface is assigned an IP address : each box doesn't have a distinct IP address. According to the documentation mentionned above, this configuration is incorrect. However I can attest that it works, at least when the two OpenBSD boxes are both online. So now that I'm trying to replicate the OpenBSD configuration on my pfSense 2.1 boxes, I'm wondering if I really need 3 distinct IP addresses on each vlan and what are the consequences of using only one on the carp interface ? Thanks for your advice. bye -- Jérôme Alet - <jerome.a...@univ-nc.nc> - Direction du Système d'Information Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie - BPR4 - 98851 NOUMEA CEDEX Tél : +687 290081 Fax : +687 254829 _______________________________________________ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
