Carp-IP in VLAN Setup not working

[reinsle]

Hi Forum,

i try to install an HA setup of two OPNSense FW Routers. The Interfaces are all basen on VLANs.

I installed an Test-Environment based on VMWare virtual machines. On installation i created the whole VLAN Interfaces.

- Config-Sync is enabled.
- IPs of the Interfaces are all pingable so vlan setup is running.
- Firewallrules for all Interfaces are created to allow carp traffic.
- Carp Interfaces and ip-adresses are created on each interface.
- I See carp-traffic from Master to multicast address on both nodes.

but i cannot ping the carp address nor i cannot reach services using dnat rule on carp ip.

As an additional test i copied the Configuration from master to backup node and fixed ip address and host name. But i cannot reach carp ip.

Carp ip is only pingable from carp master node.

Anyone an Idea whats going wrong or to search further?

Thanks a lot.
