Is there a guide on how to configure the interfaces in ESXi for CARP High Availability ?

Right now I have the following on two nodes:

- WAN interface
- LAN interface
- CARP interface

the CARP interface under Security has :
Promiscuous mode : rejected
MAC address changes : allowed
Forged transmits : allowed

I have both boxes configured, it works, but I have to admit I never tested this and I can't figure out if Promiscuous mode should be allowed or rejected. By works I mean that one box is master for the VIPs and the other is on standby, the configs are getting synced, etc.
