[SOLVED] High-Availability + CARP IP + No Traffic

[franco]

It's alright. :) I think I finally traced it back to its origin. I still have to implement pushing the vlan flags to the lagg member interfaces, but consider this fixed in time for 15.7.7.

Hello Franco,

Good job. The flag/options on the network card are all good now. I didn't have any bad cksum on my packet.

I tried to reactivate the CARP protocol but I can't make it works. I removed my IP alias, create a new CARP IP.  The two firewall share correctly the VIP but any traffic go through. However it's working fine with IP Alias.

1.1.1.2                        1.1.1.3
-------------                 ------------
-    FW1    ---------------    FW 2  -
-------------                 -------------
                        | VIP : 1.1.1.1
                        |
                        |
                        |
               ---------------
               -      VM1     -
               ---------------
              1.1.2.4

If I look on my network card, everything seems to be okay :

But If I try to ping the IP 1.1.1.4 from the VLAN interface 1.1.1.2 it's working well. If I try to do the same from the VIP, it's not working at all.

Here some tcpdump

It seems that the packet is sent but there is no answer. How it can be possible ? Do I need to allow specific protocol on the firewall ?

On the client side in the ARP table, the machine can't find the mac address asssociated to the VIP.

However, on the firewall side, I can find the associated mac of the machine even with a ping from 1.1.1.1

hi romain,

I did create a small document a couple of weeks a go for CARP, this may be of use if your issue is CARP related.
https://wiki.opnsense.org/index.php/Configure_CARP


There are some ports that need to be opened for CARP to work, if this doesn't fix your issue maybe you could share your configs (without passwords and privatekeys) with me so I can review your CARP settings.

Cheers,
