Dear All,
I am having a doubt about the following scenario. We have two bgp
routers, arp-balanced with carp. Both routers are running bgpd and
everything looks nice. But I see that there is some problem (?) and I
don't know how to solve this.
The problem is that we are obviously balancing the two bgp routers with
carp but if I lock the switch with the virtual MAC address of the carp
interface, it stops working. This is because the router when receives
the traffic, answers to the virtual MAC address BUT when it sends the
traffic it uses the physical MAC address. (or something like that but
the fact is that it uses both MACs)
So I MUST use two MACs on the switch in order to make the system work.
Unfortunately in some scenarios this is not acceptable due to the policy
(one port, one fixed MAC)
So I would like to know if there is any parameter to force the router to
use ALWAYS the virtual MAC address (the carp MAC address).
I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I googled around with
no success in order to make it work as I want.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
