hi i try it today again just for one interface in this case.
on host a: inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ carpdev em4 \ group management_if \ carpnodes 91:0,101:100 on host b: inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ group management_if \ carpdev em4 \ carpnodes 101:0,91:100 this works ! i can see the traffic on both interfaces and boxes. now i try to change the next carp interface on host a: inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ group management_if \ carpnodes 90:0,100:100 after the setup on the first box my whole network go's down. my question is can i do carp loadblanacing on a multiple carp box ( 5 carp interfaces ) ? is this the right way to do lb carp like i ahead described ? holger Holger Glaess schrieb: > hi > > i try today to use the ip loadbalancing feature of carp. > > basiclly there ist an working carp cluster with 5 carp interfaces on 2 > boxes. > > > on host a: > hostname.carp0 > inet 10.100.0.254 255.255.252.0 10.100.3.255 \ > vhid 25 pass office2world group lan_if > hostname.carp1 > inet 10.10.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.10.223.255 \ > vhid 15 pass office2world group wan_if > hostname.carp2 > inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 > vhid 90 pass manage2world group management_if > hostname.carp3 > inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ > carpdev em4 vhid 91 pass manage2world group management_if > hostname carp4 > inet 10.11.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.11.223.255 \ > carpdev em5 vhid 92 pass manage2world group an10-predmz > > the devices em4 and em5 have are no ip . > > on host b: > hostname.carp0 > inet 10.100.0.254 255.255.252.0 10.100.3.255 \ > group lan_if \ > pass office2world \ > vhid 25 \ > advskew 100 > hostname.carp1 > inet 10.10.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.10.223.255 \ > group wan_if \ > vhid 15 \ > advskew 100 \ > pass office2world > > hostname.carp2 > inet 10.90.1.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ > group management_if \ > vhid 90 \ > advskew 100 \ > pass manage2world > > hostname.carp3 > inet 10.90.5.202 255.255.255.0 10.90.1.255 \ > group management_if \ > carpdev em4 \ > vhid 91 \ > advskew 100 \ > pass manage2world > > hostname.carp4 > > inet 10.11.223.15 255.255.255.0 10.11.223.255 \ > group an10-predmz \ > vhid 92 \ > pass manage2world \ > advskew 100 \ > carpdev em5 > > now i try to what the document says i add the line on > host a > carpnodes 15:0,15:100 balancing ip > host b > carpnodes 15:100,15:0 balancing ip > > id did this for all vhid's > then i try to load the setup i got the error "ifconfig: SIOCSVH: Invalid > argument" if i delete the part after the , der error is gone but it > kills my network. > > > what did i wrong ? > what i miss understud the man page ? > > holger
