What problem are you trying to resolve?
I will clarify:
+---+ +------+
| | +-----+ | |
----+fw1+--------+ sw1 +-------+ |
carp0| +--+ +-+-+-+ em0| |
| | | | | |
+-+-+ | +----+ | |
| | | |Server|
+-+-+ +--|------+ | fbsd |
| | | | | |
| +-----+ +-+-+-+ | |
----+fw2+--------+ sw2 +-------+ |
carp0| | +-----+ em1| |
+---+ +------+
Server uses fw1/fw2 as default gateway(s).
Server has a bunch of IPs. I can't add these as aliases to either em0
or em1 (would be single point o failure).
I need a virtual interface, like a trunk, to which I can tie the IPs.
A trunk connects 2 hosts (AFAIK), in my case, I have 3.
I could reduce the pair fw1/fw2 to one virtual system, using 2 carp
interfaces.
This way, I would have a valid configuration of 2 hosts for the trunk,
with 2 interfaces on each side.
Now the question: Can I put a trunk on top of a carp?
AFAIK No.
What do you mean?
Are there other possibilities to connect the boxes with the above
functionality?
