Hi,

I have configured OPNSense in an HA setup with VLANS. The Primary shows the CARP interfaces fine, however, the secondary shows as 1 interface as Backup, several others as Master, (and the interfaces mismatch the VLANs they are assigned to, for example, VLAN50 interface shows as assigned to VLAN30).

Primary


Secondary

This is running on ESXi so all Portgroups already have Promiscuous mode, MAC address changes, and Forged transmits enabled.

Anyone knows the issue ?

Thank You

Did you create all those interfaces in exactly the same order on both master and backup?

I.e:

VLAN X == OPT1
VLAN Y == OPT2
VLAN Z == OPT3
...

This is mandatory. I would check that first. I you navigate to the Interfaces menu and click on any particular interface, the address bar of your browser shows you which of LAN, OPTx, OPTy ... is assigned.

Thanks just the thing I missed, I was looking within the GUI and it appeared similar, but in the URL address bar the OPT number differ.

Will fix that 1st, thanks.

Thanks, that's resolved the issue.

Both the OPNSense in HA have the same OPT numbers, showing Master and Backup now.
