Nothing new to 4.0, but a few of the things you can do besides using tcpdump are: route monitor - see interface link state change sysctl net.inet.carp.log=1 - generates primarily protocol error messages netstat -sp carp - display a number of relevant counters If you want to do more complicated things, like run commands when carp interfaces change state, you can have a look at ifstated. -Ryan
