A few thoughts... When upgrading pfSense recommends upgrading the backup router first. For the states to sync the interfaces have to have the same names, i.e. same NICs in both.
An XML sync error is usually seen when saving changes on the primary router and it tries to connect to the backup. That's different than the interfaces not syncing state. Ensure you're using the username "admin" to sync...even though there is a field for the username in the CARP sync settings, pfSense apparently uses a hardcoded "admin" instead and ignores the field. Are you using Suricata or any other packages? -- Steve Yates ITS, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: List [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Sent: Monday, October 30, 2017 7:33 AM To: pfSense Support and Discussion Mailing List <list@lists.pfsense.org> Subject: [pfSense] CARP Interface doese not sync Hi there, i run 2 Pfsense boxed which are connected directly on the Sync interface. Pf1 Version is 2.4.1 and pf2 Version is 2.4.0 I created now CARP interfaces wich are not synced to pf1 automaticly. I get some XML errors (Syntax Error in XML) Is there anyway to start the Sync process manually to check logs or so?
