Title: IP Alias over HA
Post by: blackwing on July 14, 2023, 10:07:43 pm

I have multiple IP Alias on my Virtual IPs on the master, do I have to copy it manually to my backup? coz I notice that it's not copying that to my back up, but when I tried to copy it over my service went down and inaccessible. is there something that I am doing wrong with this set up?

I use a CARP/HA IP for each virtual public IP, because that's how I am used to do it on other platforms, Cisco, Sidewinder, ...

Don't know if that is the canonical way on OPNsense, but "works for me"  ;)

The idea to use aliases never occurred to me, to be honest.

The IP alias is for the nginx to use when serving  a domain.
