HA in a VMware Service Provider Cloud

« on: March 27, 2024, 03:55:48 pm »

Hello all,

I am deploying OPNsense in a service provider cloud. I have no ability to have promiscuous mode turned on. Does this preclude me from running HA in this cloud? Is there any way to use unicast to handle HA, like Fortinet does with their firewall VMs?

Thanks,
Steve

Currently not, FreeBSD 14 will add support, but this will not happen before OPN 25.1 as 24.7 will have 13.3

Thank you @mimugmail!

Do you or anyone else know if I could use the Virtual IP functionality, without full on HA? What I would like to do is build a single node, but set it up with VIPs, so when support comes I can just add a second node and away I go.

Sure, just add a carp address, if there is only one node, no need to worry
