EDIT: You shouldn't read this, I don't know what happened but I needed to go to System > Firmware > Plugins and install os-frr

I've got an HA Pair of OPNsense vms and I'm pretty sure this used to be working, but now the routing tab (the thing on the left side of the screen below "Firewall" and above "VPN") has disappeared on the backup CARP node. Where did it go? What did I do?

I can run vtysh on my primary node, but not the backup:

```
root@router03:~ # vtysh
vtysh: Command not found.
```

I had both of them talking bgp to each other and my metallb nodes... I upgraded the HA Sync compatibility to 24.7+ and I think FRR was in the list and I synced it before I noticed. I've since removed and rebooted, but it hasn't come back. (In the "Services to synchronize" I've got everything selected but Auth Servers, Backup, FRR, Netsnmp, and Users and Groups).

I've got "Enable CARP Failover" disabled since I want routing running on both my nodes. If I enter "Persistent maintenance mode" on my master and verify failover the tab still doesn't show up.

Any ideas? I'm an OPNsense beginner, so I may have missed something basic.

I recently stood up an OPNsense VM to test it out as a replacement for my increasingly flaky EdgeRouter Lite. My thought was that I could switch to the OPNsense router but keep the EdgeRouter as a backup. I'd set up VRRP and then whenever I was doing maintenance on the OPNsense hypervisor the gateway IPs could just failover and I would retain some basic network functionality.

Unfortunately it looks like VRRP is not available on OPNsense and CARP is not available on EdgeOS. Are there other solutions I could consider? It doesn't seem like CARP has wide availability outside of FreeBSD.
