of course there are (many) working bgpd + carp setups. * ???? ??????? <chipits...@gmail.com> [2010-03-06 15:14]: > second router learns routes from carp master (since it has no direct > connection while it is BACKUP), but I only see routes using "bgpctl > show rib", not using "netstat -rn". also, there's seems to be loop, > because I see many "icmp dup" while pinging some system. also, when > BAACKUP becomes MASTER, it drops all the rib and learnes routes from > uplink.which is very bad.
the preferred setup is to have one bgp session per carp host to your upstream, i. e. you had two, and use carp on the inner interface. what you are seeing is kinda expected, the routes are invalid from the backup host's POV since it does not have a valid route to the nexthop (this is half guessed since you didn't provide any details) -- Henning Brauer, h...@bsws.de, henn...@openbsd.org BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting
