Hello everybody, Following scenario: - 2 pfSense nodes with two NICs each - both nodes are connected directly with a cable using one NIC (let's call this NIC SYNC) - both nodes are connected to the client network using the second NIC (let's call this NIC LAN) - 1 node is master (active), 1 node is slave (passive) - CARP is configured to use the SYNC link for synchronization - master node IP on LAN: 192.168.1.2 - slave node IP on LAN: 192.168.1.3 - Virtual IP on LAN: 192.168.1.1 - All clients can communicate with both pfSense nodes (NIC LAN) on layer 2 - Now the weird thing: the LAN NICs of both pfSense nodes CANNOT communicate on layer 2 (don't ask, it's because of VXLAN)
How does the slave detects if the master has lost connection to LAN? Do they do this only via the SYNC link? Or does the slave node sends periodically probe messages over the LAN NIC to check if LAN NIC of the master node is still reachable?
