I have two hosts in a CARP group. on router-meus-cd1, i have the following network configuration:
router-meus-cd1# ifconfig xennet1 xennet1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 capabilities=2800<TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Tx> enabled=0 address: 00:16:3e:71:ef:6f inet 10.10.10.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.10.255 inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe71:ef6f%xennet1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 router-meus-cd1# ifconfig carp216 carp216: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 carp: MASTER carpdev xennet1 vhid 216 advbase 1 advskew 0 address: 00:00:5e:00:01:d8 inet 216.51.247.30 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 216.51.247.31 router-meus-cd1# on router-meus-cn1, i have a similar configuration: router-meus-cn1# ifconfig xennet1 xennet1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 capabilities=2800<TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Tx> enabled=0 address: 00:16:3e:04:d3:e0 inet 10.10.10.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.10.255 inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe04:d3e0%xennet1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 router-meus-cn1# ifconfig carp216 carp216: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 carp: BACKUP carpdev xennet1 vhid 216 advbase 1 advskew 0216.51.247.30 address: 00:00:5e:00:01:d8 inet 216.51.247.30 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 216.51.247.31 router-meus-cn1# The default route, nameservers, etc are all set correctly. CARP works great on the 216.51.247.24/29 subnet, from any machine on that subnet I can ping 216.51.247.30. When I get outside the subnet, I can't ping the address or ssh to it. Does anyone have some insight into why this is happening? Thanks --david
