It is a feature that is advertised but not apparently functional in the current Ubuntu version. So "feature that has never previously worked" is the best of those three. It may be that there are changes in more recent versions (post 1.2.2) that are necessary to make it work as well. Debian/experimental has a package for 1.2.6, at least (which I haven't tried yet): http://packages.debian.org/experimental/keepalived

Expected behavior is for keepalived to synthesize a virtual mac address to go along with the virtual IP address. This is important in situations where systems do not accept gratuitous ARP as a means to fail over a virtual IP address. I have built a version against the latest upstream (1.2.7), which does honor the use_vmac directive as expected. below follows an example of how it should look (see 6:): 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 08:00:27:36:14:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.4.105/24 brd 192.168.4.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe36:144f/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN link/ether a2:20:3b:c0:e0:1a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global virbr0 6: vrrp.90@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/ether 00:00:5e:00:01:5a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.4.200/32 scope global vrrp.90 inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:15a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keepalived/+bug/1055892/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
