Tutorials and FAQs / High Availability on Layer 3
« on: August 20, 2020, 04:47:47 pm »
Hello everyone,
I'm currently running an OPNSense on an vSphere server in order to make tests before use this solution in AWS Cloud.
One of my main purpose is to be able to have a cluster of OPNsense where the HA works on Layer 3.
Let me explain : Our goal is to run 2 EC2 instances of OPNsense on AWS with each one is in a different VPC.
The result of this kind of architecture is there is no possiblity to have a common L2 subnet to use for HA CARP.
I was wondering if it will be possible to use the VXLAN (or GENEVE) feature as a workaround and use this interface to achieve to an operational HA.
Some of you have experienced this kind of solution and if it's not possible, is there an alternative solution to resolve this "issue" ?
Thanks for your time,
Trifly
