I understand the concept of an 8 bit integer. What I meant by ambiguous is the acceptable ranges that are being used, assuming vhid's are an 8-bit integer as well, although thats not explicitly stated it sure looks like one, why isnt 0 acceptable? > > > I havent been able to set advbase to 0 so I am assuming its 1-255, > however > > I have seen posts of people configuring the advbase to 0.

Ok then if this is true, then can anyone tell me what else would prevent me from assigning 0 to the advbase. Im not using ifstated, or anything else that i know that may manipulate the carp interfaces. I've attempted to set the advbase from the hostname.carpX files and rebooted, as well as explicitly trying to set advbase to 0 via ifconfig, as well as destroying the carp interfaces and recreating with ifconfig with an advbase of 0. However when running ifconfig advbase states it has a value of 1 in all cases. > > -- > Pozdrawiam, > Cezary Morga > "Nah, a database recovery, some system tuning and a couple of helpdesk > calls - > nothing that can't wait..."
