CARP - What Does This Msg Mean

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

I have setup my HA pair of firewalls and I think all is working well. Right now my secondary firewall is turned off. I turned on what should be my primary firewall but I am seeing some msgs that lead me to believe it thinks it is a backup? Please see attached screenshot.

What do these CARP msgs mean? Am I getting this bc the secondary is indeed turned off?

Thanks,
Steve

Yes, you get that due to the backup being offline.
