Hi,
We're running 2.1BETA1 on a two-nodes failover pfSense cluster. Each
node is in a separate physical location, and connected to a different
switch.
We've got around 15 interfaces, 8 of which have an active DHCP server
served by pfSense
We encounter synchronization problems between the two nodes but only for
DHCP and, it seems, only for some of the 8 DHCP server enabled
interfaces.
"Status/DHCP Leases" always report "normal" / "normal" for dhcp0, but
things like "recover" / "unknown state" or "communication interrupted" /
"recover done", or even "recover" / "recover" for all the other
interfaces.
I know for sure it used to work with "normal" / "normal" for all
interfaces, but between pfSense upgrades and configuration changes,
something made it break.
Now I'm wondering something, because when looking at the generated
dhcpd.conf file it's not very clear for me :
On the master node, for each interface onto which we've enabled the DHCP
server, we've added in the "Failover peer IP" input box the address
the slave node has on the very same interface.
Is this really needed for each interface, or is it sufficient to put it
only once ? If we set it multiple times I believe the synchronization is
done multiple times too, and doing a simple modification and applying
changes takes ages.
Also, if it's needed for all interfaces, should we specify each time the
IP address matching the other node on the same interface, or should we
use, for all interfaces, the IP address of the other node has on the
pfsync interface ?
Please could someone enlighten me wrt the best way to achieve such
configuration ?
Thanks in advance
