      So, we have reinstalled the BACKUP.
      Then we have shutdowned the MASTER.

      The BACKUP became MASTER with no problem.

      But the issue is still present. Every 15 minutes we lost network during 4 ou 5 ping and then the network comes back.

      So I don't think it's a HA issue.

      In pfsense log, we see nothing.

      We are lost.

        @marcolefo So in your initial description they are both master? Sounds like a connectivity loss between them every 15 minutes. Switch problem?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          @steveits no the backup become master (as the log says) but on the GUI it's still BACKUP.

          And note that the network happens too when the MASTER has been shutdowned.

          I don't know if there is a link there is a cron every 15 minutes that launch /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync/rc.filter_configure_sync

              @marcolefo said in CARP switch Master/Backup every 15 minutes:

              no the backup become master (as the log says)

              But then there should be a log on the primary that it became backup? If you're saying it successfully/correctly moves?

              but on the GUI it's still BACKUP

              The log entries you posted are all within the same second so it would be tough to catch in the GUI.

              /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync/rc.filter_configure_sync

              Not /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync? That shorter path is a normal file and is from time based rules: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137911/cron-job-etc-rc-filter_configure_sync. If that causes a connectivity break that could cause the flapping.

              Do you have a lot of rules? The System Patches package has a patch for https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12827.

                @steveits we have changed the switch with no change.

                Perhaps LACP problem ?

                  Yes it's a bug of my fingers ;). The cron is exactly :

                  0,15,30,45 	* 	* 	* 	* 	root 	/etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

                  Do you have a lot of rules? The System Patches package has a patch for https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12827.

                  Yes a lot of rules we have. I will take a look at this link now

                        @steveits thanks a lot !

                        The patch is working. No more ping lost no more zoom freeze, happiness.

                        I have another problem: no more sync between MASTER and BACKUP. I will make another thread ;).

                        Thanks again.

                          Ok everything is ok now.
                          The sync problem was a bad rule on pfsync interface.
                          Thanks again for your help and have a nice week end
