This is a very typical setup, and there are probably several other much better HOWTOs available in the documentation and on the forum.
Depending on what you want to accomplish, there are several ways to go about this, but the simplest is to set your two endpoints up in a given network, then use Firewall->Virtual IPs to configure a virtual CARP address that floats between them. Depending on if your clients use DNS/DHCP, you'll need to configure DHCP to hand out the proper route (your virtual IP), DNS server, etc. You may have other considerations (LAN firewall rules, captive portal, etc.), but that's pfSense HA in a nutshell. Pretty simple. On 2/5/08, Chris Flugstad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not to doubt pfsense, but i'd like to setup 2 pfsense routers so when 1 > fails the 2nd will take over.
