Hi again
We're gradually getting closer to our desired setup: 2 pfSense boxes
with CARP failover, each with multiple LAN interfaces and
load-balanced dual WANs. This is obviously quite a complex setup, and
getting it all working at once seems elusive - but we're almost there!
At the moment, the biggest problem is still CARP. When firewall B is
brought up, it tries to become "master" for both LAN interfaces,
whilst remaining "backup" for the WANS. This is at the same time that
firewall A is "master" for everything, as it should be. So the CARP
failover just isn't working - the machines seem to be fighting each
other to become master, which breaks things.
I have checked the settings, and consulted the list, multiple times,
but can't get to the bottom of this. Any more ideas on why CARP is
behaving so erratically?
The machines are both running RC1 + SNAPSHOT_07_06_2006, as suggested
by Scott earlier, and they have a dedicated crossover link for the
pfsync traffic.
Regards
Alastair
I have an almost identical setup, except I'm not carping my WAN2, only
WAN and LAN. When firewall A reboots it many times will only get one of
the carps. When I reboot B that clears it up for me. However, I have
only rarely experienced a problem with B taking over upon boot up.
