Hi Misc, Since 5.9 (maybe earlier), we noticed that our CARP interfaces no longer behave as before, don't initialise properly on boot up, and throw errors at boot.
I know there has been lots of changes, especially IPv6. So hopefully this is a simple question and I'm just being stupid, and unable to find a man page that explains the correct format for hostname.carp ? Otherwise if their really is no man page for hostname.carp, then could someone please point us in the right direction. - Using the following examples; hostname.ix0 inet 10.255.12.2 255.255.255.0 10.255.12.255 inet6 2a00:77e0:255:12::2 64 inet6 eui64 description "BACKHAUL" !route add -net 10.1.0.0/16 10.255.12.254 hostname.carp0 inet 10.255.12.1 255.255.255.0 10.255.12.255 inet6 2a00:77e0:255:12::1 64 advbase 2 advskew 10 carpdev ix0 carppeer 10.255.12.3 pass testpass vhid 212 inet6 eui64 description "BACKHAUL" - The following errors at boot are seen multiple times; ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Invalid argument - The firewall boots up immediately as CARP Master, causing multi-Master :( - Running "pfctl -sr -vv" shows it's running the default ruleset, even though rc.conf (pf=YES) is default and "/etc/rc" shows it should load the PF rules.. We believe this to be the cause of the multi-master as running "pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf" and "sh /etc/netstart" resolves it and CARP goes Backup. I have added the following lines to "/etc/rc.local" so that the firewall can at least be rebooted (but only after carp goes INIT -> MASTER -> BACKUP); pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf sh /etc/netstart - Lastly Errors and Discards are now also being occasionally seen on the CARP interfaces - Is there a change to the SNMPD and do we have to update our MIBs? Or if it is legit, what circumstances would a CARP interface see errors or discards? Thank you kindly in advanced for your time and thoughts. Cheers, Andy. NB; We have been running CARP without problems since OpenBSD 4.9. We have read; http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade59.html, upgrade58, upgrade57 and upgrade56 We know about "man hostname.if" but this does not include any carp examples, syntax, or general implementation (how ifconfig maps in etc) for hostname.carp.
