Some direction for HA configuration on VM

[Lipaz]

Hello,

before i start, i would love to have links with information on how to, here are some questions i didnt found written documentation on the process.

my goal is two setup 2 VM with OPNSense and i have few question:
* if i want to add another interface, what will be the process?
* is there an option to have 2 interfaces without VIP and use them as management port?
* what is the best recommendation to monitor HA status with remote monitor platform? are the alerts send via SNMP?

thanks

Are you using a virtual switch or dedicated VLANs for those extra interfaces?

Hello and thanks for the reply.
i have the ability to manage them on the IP that the interface holds and not the VRRP address.
so i am okay with the process

for your question, virtual switch

For a two-node OPNsense HA setup, I recommend using dedicated management interfaces without VIPs, following the CARP and XMLRPC configuration guides, and monitoring HA status through SNMP or an external monitoring system that checks CARP states and gateway availability.
