Hi, thank you all, it seems to work now.
just for the records, my configuration: master carp interfaces are configured like this: vhid 1 pass foo carpdev vlan3 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up and the backup interfaces are configured like this: vhid 1 pass foo carpdev vlan3 advskew 20 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 up net.inet.carp.preempt=1 darn, after reading the carp man page again, there it is stated how it works. I only remembered the advskew description from the ifconfig man page, there it is only mentioned to skew the advbase, no word about take over all interfaces with net.inet.carp.preempt=1 enabled. nevertheless, thanks a lot for all replies. > --- Urspr|ngliche Nachricht --- > Von: Marco Pfatschbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: Otto Moerbeek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Kopie: Lars Weste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] > Betreff: Re: problems with carp and vlans > Datum: Thu, 20 Apr 2006 18:07:40 +0200 > > On Thu, Apr 20, 2006 at 05:42:20PM +0200, Otto Moerbeek wrote: > > > > On Thu, 20 Apr 2006, Lars Weste wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > yes, i am running 3.8 -stable, and the backup has a higher advbase > than > > > > err, for preemption to work, the advskew should be higher on the backup. > > At least, that is what carp(4) says. > > Yes, > > actually you should have have an identical advbase, but an > higher advskew on the backup. > If the master box looses one of its links, it bumps the advskew > to 240 so that the backup has a chance to take over all carp interfaces. > > > > the master.
