19.1 Legacy Series / Setting Up CARP on LAN facing interfaces only
« on: March 01, 2019, 02:27:59 am »
Hello,
I have two opnsense nodes installed on separate physical hypervisors as VM.
Each of them have their own LAN IP statically assigned. My ISP assigned their WAN IP via DHCP on each.
The documentation https://wiki.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/carp.html mentioned I need to have both WAN and LAN in CARP.
Is it possible to enable CARP only on the LAN Interface (as this is the default gateway of my LAN)?
I do not need to have state synchronization. The goal is that if I need to do maintenance on the first hypervisor, the second gateway will take over and provide internet access to my LAN users.
Thanks!
