Hi everyone,

Please disregard the below, I seem to have found the reason (which is that with esxi, you have to give a VM permission to enter promisc mode (which it would have to to get the packets to the virtual MAC address presuambly) so the card wasn't in promisc mode even though openbsd thought it was.

Good learning point though :)

Hi all,

I have an esxi server set up with 2 separate OpenBSD installations (4.4-stable generic) and am attempting to correctly configure carp so that I know it works before implementing this in proper hardware. My aim is to get them to 'share' 192.168.176.154.

I think I have configured it correctly; the backup correctly changes status (according to ifconfig) immediately when I take the master down. I can't ping it, traceroute to it, no mention of it appears on pflog0 when I changed pf to log everything. Wireshark shows constant ARP requests and presumably no reply is given. Firewall rules accept carp traffic.

Can anyone see anything immediately amiss from this?

Thanks all :)

Stu
