Further workaround: 1st server has advbase 1 and advskew 0 2nd server has advbase 1 and advskew 100
So 2nd server should failover after what period of time when 1st server fails? In openbsd man 8 ifconfig ( http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ifconfig&apropos=0&sektion=8&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html ) I found that info: Taken together, the advbase and advskew indicate how frequently, in seconds, the host will advertise the fact that it considers itself master of the virtual host. The formula is advbase + (advskew / 256). If the master does not advertise within three times this interval, this host will begin advertising as master. Due to CARP be ported from openbsd I think it should be same for freebsd too. So 2nd server should take MASTER state after 3*(advbase+(advskew / 256)) = 3*(1+(100/256)) =~ 4 secs. But when I promote 1st servers CARP interface down, 2nd server became MASTER immediately, no 4 seconds holdtime/timeout occurs. Why is it so? Any tips? Want to understand why 2nd server takes master state too often while 1st server are still available in network. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
