17.7 Legacy Series / Re: CARP and IP Alias set up
« on: August 17, 2017, 10:58:19 pm »
Hope someone can advise me soon on this.
Experimenting, I'm getting a contradictory result. On the first WAN interface, I've added two CARP IPs, both using the same VHID number. On the second WAN interface, I've added one CARP IP, using a second VHID number. But when I try to add a second CARP IP, OPNsense complains:
In the CARP widget in the lobby, it clearly shows the first two IPs as "WAN1@11 > MASTER <ip>", and the second as "WAN2@12 <ip>", where 11 and 12 are the CARP VHIDs. Note the second interface's IP isn't showing it as master either. What difference is allowing multiple CARP IPs with the same VHID on one WAN interface, and blocking it from being set up that way on the other?
Also, WAN2 is not sending out any CARP packets. It's receiving some with another VHID from another system on that interface. But it's not sending out any of its own on WAN2, not with VHID12 or anything else. Also, it has not add the one CARP IP to its interface.
