Hi guys, I am in the midst of configuring the OpenBSD 4.9 PF using ip balancing and active-passive solution. Every interface was configured successfully but I hit the problem when I am going to add IP Alias/NAT IP on carp interface.
1)For active-passive scenario: Let say I am going to configure carp1 interface and I edit /etc/hostname.carp1 with 172.16.2.216 as virtual IP and 172.16.2.222 as NAT IP inet 172.16.2.216 255.255.255.0 172.16.2.255 vhid 2 advbase 20 advskew 0 carpdev em1 pass p455w0rd inet 172.16.2.222 255.255.255.255 vhid 2 advbase 20 advskew 0 carpdev em1 pass p455w0rd Then I save the config and restart carp1 interface: sh /etc/netstart carp1 but the output is ifconfig: vhid: bad value. 2)For ip balancing scenario, carp1 will have the virtual IP and some NAT IP addresses : Let say I am going to configure carp1 interface and I edit /etc/hostname.carp1 with 172.16.1.216 as virtual IP and 172.16.1.222 as NAT IP inet 172.16.1.216 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.255 balancing ip carpnodes 3:0,4:100 pass p455w0rd inet 172.16.1.222 255.255.255.255 balancing ip carpnodes 3:0,4:100 pass p455w0rd Then I save the config and restart carp1 interface: sh /etc/netstart carp1 but the output is ifconfig: balancing: bad value. How is the right syntax to configure and add NAT IP on carp interface? Is the concept to add NAT IP(s) on carp interface(s) on active-active and ip balancing scenario correct? Thank you in advance.
