I have 2 machines in a test environment, the carp0 interface on the machines will not become master. The config is as follows:

test1# ifconfig
em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 192.168.1.252 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe82:a77c%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:30:48:82:a7:7c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
em1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 10.10.10.7
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe82:a77d%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        ether 00:30:48:82:a7:7d
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
carp0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0
carp1: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 0xfffffff8
        carp: MASTER vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0

em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 192.168.1.253 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe80:21bc%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:30:48:80:21:bc
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
em1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet 10.10.10.3 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 10.10.10.7
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe80:21bd%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        ether 00:30:48:80:21:bd
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
carp0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 100
carp1: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 0xfffffff8
        carp: BACKUP vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 100

both test1 and test2 have these sysctl variables:
net.inet.carp.allow: 1
net.inet.carp.preempt: 1
net.inet.carp.log: 1
net.inet.carp.arpbalance: 0

The carp1 interface seems to operate properly. I can't get either box to become master for 192.168.1.10

If I do a tcpdump on the em0 interface on the boxes, I see multicast traffic out on em0 on test1 and I see multicast traffic from test1 on em0 of test2. The only firewall rules are pass in all and pass out all.

On test1(should be the master):
> netstat -ssp carp
carp:
       40572 packets received (IPv4)
               326 discarded for bad vhid
       160550 packets sent (IPv4)

On test2(the backup);
> netstat -ssp carp
carp:
       134298 packets received (IPv4)

I'm hoping someone out here can help because this is driving me crazy and I can not even think about this for a production environment if I can't get it working in very simple test setup.

Thanks,
Chris
