High availability / CARP partial failover
« on: March 31, 2022, 05:19:16 pm »
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.
