high availability run on dissimilar PCs?
«

good afternoon.
I think I have a simple question that I can't find an answer to via google...
I would like to set up a high availability OpenSense router.
Master:
VM in Proxmox with direct connection to Pcie slots. PCIE-1: dual sfp28 (WAN and LAN) card. PCIE-2: 1gbit RJ45 sync.
Second
irgent a low-power mini pc with 2x SFP+ (WAN and LAN) and 1x 1gbit RJ45 for sync.
The proxmox server already exists, the mini pc still needs to be procured.
Does OpenSense high availability run on dissimilar PCs? with different NIC speeds?
Thank you
Lars

Yes but the interfaces (their identifiers and devices) need to be the same on both. For machines of dissimilar devices you want to wrap these in LAGG devices with single devices attached so the naming is constant, e.g.
WAN, id: wan, device: lagg0
LAN, id: lan, device: lagg1
DMZ, id: opt1, device lagg2
Cheers,

I understand you correctly....
unequal PC - no problem
unequal NIC - no problem
unequal NIC speed - no problem
WAN, LAN, DMZ each need their own LAGG... then it works?
Thanks for the help
