I'm having issues getting CARP VIP sync to work on Mikrotik switches. Changing the VHID didn't help. So I set all the interfaces to use IP Alias.
XMLRPC sync works just fine for all High Availability settings via a dedicated interface.
DHCP failover didn't work at all using IP Aliases. The interface does say to use CARP, so I am assuming it means CARP VIP, and not High Availability.
All three interfaces were showing either:
'My State':
communications-interrupted
recover
'Peer State':
normal
unknown-state
or vice versa.
Removing the failover IP allows both peers to serve IP addresses.
Typically in this case I will assign a part of the subnet to each peer, or add a subnet delay.
Am I right in thinking that the CARP VIP is the issue, and that I can't use IP Alias for DHCP Failover?

Also I'm seeing this from a switch on my lab network:
00:00:00:00:01:01

Which is apparently a BootP client, getting a perpetual lease from this thread:

Is there a way to disable BootP completely?

This is the part that is confusing to me:
Services > DHCP > Servers > <Interface> (Tab) > 'Failover Peer IP':
"Machines must be using CARP. Interface's advskew determines whether the DHCPd process is Primary or Secondary. Ensure one machine's advskew<20 (and the other is >20)."
Also, where is the advskew setting located?
