Imagine node A and B share the same public ip address on their carp(4) interface. Imagine A and B have a gre(4) interface, and its tunnel source address is the carp(4) address. Imagine there is an ospf daemon running on those gre(4) interfaces. Then the OSPF neiborship will be constantly reestablished, because A and B will interfere with OSPF sessions of each other. This happens because both nodes will send a HELO packet, and the backup node isn't honoring its BACKUP state properly. >How-To-Repeat: Build a setup mentioned above. Use OSPF or just try to send icmp packets via the tunnel from the BACKUP node. >Fix: Use IPSEC with 'required' policies. This will prevent the backup node from establishing SA, thus preventing the tunnel from working. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
