Scott,

I agree that that's how it *should* be working, but that's not what's currently happening on this box. I'd like, very much to stop the madness without requiring a complete re-install. Am I safe simply removing the pfsyncenabled tag from my config file or is there more involved?

There has been a lot of movement between your initial installed version and

might want to wait for scott's or bill's thoughts on this behavior first.

Holger,

Actually, that doesn't work.  Hitting save on its own doesn't
turn off
the synchronization.  Enabling, then saving, then disabling
and saving
again, also doesn't turn it off.  If I leave it disabled in
the WebGUI
and then change the sync interface to WAN, all the sync
traffic moves to
the WAN interface.  Changing it back to LAN moves the sync
traffic back.

Holger,

The WebGUI shows CARP completely turned off, as it should be.  The
config file has been with me, more or less, since 0.95 but
always on
that machine.  CARP had been turned on at one time on that
machine,
however it was completely disabled.  I suspect that I
simply need to
remove the line from my config file to turn it off.  Is that
a correct
statement or do I need to remove other lines as well?  I'd
rather avoid
doing a complete re-install if at all possible.  Thanks
for your help.

Is this an imported config? CARP config options are located

at Interfaces>Virtual IPs, CARP settings tab. Disable all
options there, save and apply. Does this fix it? Btw, I
haven't noticed that behavior with my embedded beta3 build.
Maybe you are runni
ng into some kind of upgrade bug. If nothing helps I
recommend reinstalling a fresh Beta3 :-/

Subject: [pfSense Support] Massive amounts of pfsync

traffic when CARP

is turned off


I just noticed my pfSense (now upgraded to Beta3, thanks
guys!) machine
multicasting pfsync traffic of biblical proportions.  This was a
surprise to me because I don't have CARP enabled on this box.
 In poking
around in my machine's config file I see the following entry:

- <#> <carpsettings>
- <#> <config>
  <pfsyncenabled />   <<<<---------- point of interest
  <pfsyncinterface>LAN</pfsyncinterface>
  <balancing />
  <premption />
  <synchronizerules />
  <synchronizealiases />
  <synchronizenat />
  <synchronizeipsec />
  <synchronizewol />
  <synchronizestaticroutes />
  <synchronizelb />
  <synchronizevirtualip />
  <synchronizetrafficshaper />
  <synchronizetoip />
  <password />
  </config>
  </carpsettings>


Does this mean that, pfsync is enabled anyhow?  How can I
make the bad
man stop?  It's really hosing one of my switches.

Best,

Gary
