The message I continually get on both for both the external and internal interface is "duplicate IP address 10.0.0.1 sent from ethernet address 00:00:5e:00:01:01". That looks like an IANA range and I am assuming that it is some sort of reserved multicast mac address (sorry, not too familiar with that).
If I completely shut down one machine, make sure I only have one carp interface, I am left with ----hostname.carp0---- inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.255 vhid 1 pass blah ----hostname.tl0---- inet 10.0.0.254 255.255.255.0 NONE Still, when I look at ifconfig carp0 I get "carp: BACKUP vhid1 advbase 1 advskew 0" How can it be in a backup mode if it's the only interface... in fact the only machine on line? Furthermore, if I do a tcpdump on tl0 I see nothing but two vrrp advertise frames followed by an arp from 10.0.0.1. Is this strange or am I just missing some critical piece to understanding?
