Yes, the backup has an advskew of 5 and the primary an advskew of 1. As I mentioned, when I first configured the interfaces by hand the two systems properly negotiated master/backup roles, it was only after I rebooted the one that was supposed to be primary on this interface that it came up as backup, and I traced it to the fact the the carp demote value was set to 2. When I manually changed the carp demote value to 0, the system once again pre-empted the master role on the interface. I'm just not sure what is twiddling with the carp demotion value. Unless ospdf does it by default? The man page for the config file reads like it would only do it if you explicitly include the demote keyword in the area or interface section. Thanks for the suggestion though.
