Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] CARP with PacketFence
No. Im Active/Active when it comes to RADIUS for my switches/access points. I
only do IP failover for the portal pages and management interface. I *could*
do an active IP-hash load balancing of the portal pages and it should work no
differently than any other APACHE server. I just don't have a need for it.
The PF conf is really no different. Im syncing it because when i make a change
on the master (Say adding a switch), it won't be reflected on the secondary
until the config is synced and a "pfcmd configreload hard is run".
Google "mysql circular replication"
Otherwise, I just have a floating IP between the Mysql servers.
Most of the magic to make the portal pages work on the floating IP is in the
iptables.conf to d-nat from the floating IP to the IP the portal listens on.
The setup would realistically work on any number of nodes but the portal pages
would only ever be run on one node at a time. We don't have a problem serving
10000 network ports and 2000 802.1x clients with 2 PF server VMs and 2 SQL VMs.

Thanks. So you are not using CARP. I take it you have two PF nodes in
Master-Slave setup. Do you think your setup will work in more than 2 nodes?
Can you share what is your pf.conf setting (mysql server address) for MySQL
circular replication?
Also, why are you syncing configs from Master pf to slave every 5 minutes?

I use pacemaker and ip failover for the management/portal interfaces and ospf
for routing. Also ip failover for MySQL on separate servers using circular
replication. Static pf configs in flat files are rsyncd every 5 minutes from
the "master" pf server to the "slave" radius from switches and wireless is
active active though

Hello.
Trying to configure packetfence for high availability. I
have read in the administration guide that this can be achieved using
Linux HA.
I was wondering if anyone had thoughts / experience around
doing the same using CARP? If so, could you please share some of your
insights and how you went about doing it.
Thanks
