Hi,
My setup in short:
- Primary OPNsense and backup OPNsense each in a VM on ESX, same hardware specification for the VM
- 4 regular interfaces (LAN, WAN, DMZ, GUEST)
- 1 trunk interface
- 1 "sync" interface for any HA and sync purposes
- 3 CARP interfaces with a virtual IP: LAN, GUEST, DMZ (each time and IP ending with .1)
Configuration seems to sync fine. When I check the status of the virtual IP's on the primary, I see that they all 3 are "Master"
The addressing is as follows:
.1 = the virtual IP
.2 = the primary firewall
.3 = the secondary firewall
To go to the web UI, I'm using the .1 virtual ip address of the LAN.
Although the primary is always master, the .1 seems to switch randomly and often between primary and backup (even though the primary is always master)
Is this expected behavior?
If not, how can this be fixed?
I appreciate the feedback
L.
