CARP UNICAST - ISSUE MAC AGEOUT

[blacknote]

Hi all,

Regarding the usage of CARP (VRRP2) UNICAST, it appears that the Interface mac of the slave, when this last isnt soliciting by any other service, protocole or monitoring is aged out on the network.

Meaning that, any unicast CARP packets send from the master are flooding onto the network.

My immediate solution is to declare in static the mac of the slave for those interface.
I hesitated to use monit to ping the slave or something like this.

My asking would be to got a specific menu to send gratuitous arp from the interface GUI.


What do you think about it?

regards,
