Thanks for your suggestions guys.

LAGG and CARP....

https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=17894.msg85723#msg85723

This is interesting, I haven't tried without LAGG because I never thought it would actually be the issue.
Were you able to figure out a way to have CARP failover work properly with LAGG or did you completely gave up using it? This seems far from ideal.

Try with the "disable preempt" option on the master unchecked and checked on the backup. And then restart both boxes.

Before opening this thread I read what you suggested on a few different places, unfortunately it doesn't seem to solve the issue in my case.

Hello everyone,
I have two DEC3860 appliances that I want to use as firewall/router in active/standby mode.
Configuration is the following:
- the two 10G fiber interfaces are configured in LAGG.
- on this LAGG there are ~10 VLAN configured, one of which is the WAN interface.
- for each VLAN an interface has been created, the interface has been configured with an IP address.
- for each interface a virtual IP address has been created.

High Availability is configured as follows on both nodes:
- Synchronize States: on
- Disable preempt: off
- Synchronize Interface: appliances are connected directly with a cable, a specific interface has been defined for this particular scope.

Configuration synchronization is working perfectly, the problem is if I go to "Interfaces" -> "Virtual IP" -> "Status" I see that certain "CARP Interfaces" are marked as "MASTER" on NODE-A while some are on NODE-B.
How can I force all CARP Interfaces to stick together so that they either stay all on NODE-A or NODE-B?
Thanks.
