Hi - the final question I have with our current setup concerns CARP/ failover between our pair of boxes, each of which has 2 WAN and 2 LAN interfaces.

What we're seeing sometimes is that box B will become "master" for the LAN interfaces, but not the WANs, or vice versa. This obviously breaks things!

For a full failover simulation (ie reboot one of the boxes!) everything works correctly, and all 4 interfaces fail over to the other box, and everything carries on flowing.

But do you know why we are seeing this asymmetric 'flapping' at other times? I have checked all the settings, and each CARP pair has a unique VHID, and box A is set to a lower advertising frequency. My understanding is that the 'preempt' flag should cause all interfaces to failover together.


Hi,

had the same problem with a fast Master and a WRAP for backup:

Go to the Slave-Servers CARP-Settings and rise the Advertising Frequency for each CARP-Interface above 100. This should make it a real "hot-standby" Slave ... I also enabled "Load Balancing" in the CARP Settings which should enable net.inet.carp.arpbalance.
