If I am sitting on 192.168.20.20 for example, and I ping 192.168.20.1 tcpdump
running on HOBBES shows that it responded to the ping. It's the master for
192.168.20.1 so it should. The really odd part is when I ping 192.168.30.1. I
found that HOBBES still responds, not CALVIN; I do not see any traffic with
tcpdump running on CALVIN, even though HOBBES is the backup for the 192.168.30.1
address.
Further, if I do an "ifconfig carp0 down" on HOBBES, then I DO see a response
from CALVIN for 30.1. I can guarantee that HOBBES says "BACKUP" before I try
this.
Interesting. Can anyone else comment on whether this is normal? Is
hobbes responding for 30.1 because that IP is configured on an interface
(even if it is a carp interface in backup state)?
What happens when you make one router the master of both carp groups? I
would assume that the issue mentioned above with pinging 20.1 and 30.1
goes away. Does your traffic stalling issue also go away?
