Re: [pfSense] Delete last Alias IP when CARP address in subnet
Thanks, Espen! I was able to remove the `` using `viconfig`, and then run `ifconfig em5 inet 2.2.2.10 -alias`. By the way, these are made up IP addresses. I just remembered, I should probably use private addresses for my examples :) On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 2:24 PM, Espen Johansen wrote: > You can export only portions of the config. > As for deleting the interface in cli withour making the proper changes in > the config xml is not something i would advise at all.

Re: [pfSense] Delete last Alias IP when CARP address in subnet
You can export only portions of the config. As for deleting the interface in cli withour making the proper changes in the config xml is not something i would advise at all. If you are sure you know how to do it you can edit the running config. Then use cli to remove the vip. If you want to do it cleanly I would suggest config edit followed by reboot or config export/import. All this would be workarounds since this seems to be a bug caused by a edge case. See the doc wiki or forum for propper xml edit procedures. 18. aug. 2014 20:16 skrev "Adam Williams" følgende: > If it's that simple, I can use `viconfig` to delete the `` > element, then in FreeBSD, simply remove the IP address from the WAN > interface.

Re: [pfSense] Delete last Alias IP when CARP address in subnet
If it's that simple, I can use `viconfig` to delete the `` element, then in FreeBSD, simply remove the IP address from the WAN interface. I just am not terribly sure of the lifecycle of the config file. On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 1:53 PM, Espen Johansen wrote: > Export config. Edit.

Export config. Edit.

[pfSense] Delete last Alias IP when CARP address in subnet
Hello. I am running 2.1-RELEASE (built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:44 EDT 2013), which I believe includes the fix for the bug documented here https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2406, according to the release notes at https://redmine.pfsense.org/versions/5. In that ticket, it says: > You can't remove the last IP alias on the subnet of a CARP IP because it'll > break CARP, you have to delete the CARP IP first. The only exception being > when the interface IP is on the CARP IP's subnet, which is also handled > correctly. I believe I meet the "only exception" clause, since my WAN interface is configured for the same subnet of the CARP address. I have the following configuration: ``` em5 2.2.2.1 28 WANGW carp wan 2 0 1 single 28 2.2.2.9 ipalias wan single 28 2.2.2.10 ``` However, I cannot delete this IP Alias, being given the message "This entry cannot be deleted because it is still referenced by a CARP IP with the description Alias." Of course, there is no CARP address with that description, so it seems to be referencing the Alias itself! It's interesting to note that the `` element of the WAN interface is `28`, where the similarly named element of the VIP address is `2.2.2.10`, but the `` does match the `` element of the interface. Does anyone know a workaround so that I can delete this IP Alias? Thanks! ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
