GW configuration - some questions
-
@empbilly
The switch has nothing to do with CARP as long as he is working only on layer 2. For a working CARP, the switch only needs to support full layer 2.
The same is true for ARP.
If CARP wasn't working due to the protocol is not passing the switch, both nodes would show master status.But that it supports VRRP means that the device is layer 3 capable. This could impact the ARP protocol though.
But without sniffing the traffic, you are in the dark here. -
I am not at work these days, but I logged in remotely and checked the following output:

I will still try to sniff the physical interfaces.
The only one that doesn't show up is the WAN, which has VHID 3.

I was able to capture the packets.
Can you help me analyze the packets? Can I post the file here?
-
@empbilly
Did you run the capture on VLAN interface set the protocol filter to ARP?
So it shouldn't show any public IP. You can hide the MACs if you want. -
I capture all packets.
https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/pt-br/000184095/dell-emc-networking-os6-series-switches-how-toI scp the .pcap file from the switch to my computer and opened it in wireshark.
I couldn't find an option where I could specify the vlan for packet capture.
Can it be with all traffic?
-

This should be possible in the capture configuration. Isn't there any interface setting?

Yes.
Run the capture on the port which your PC is connected. Start it and try to ping a CARP VIP.
If the IP isn't in the PCs ARP table there should be an ARP request and a response in the capture. But presumably it doesn't get a response.Then run a capture on the port which is connected to pfSense to see if the request is passed through.

I have configured VIP CARP of vlan IOT as GW in dhcp. The file below is from a direct capture from pfsense.

Tomorrow I will do that part.

@empbilly said in GW configuration - some questions:
I have configured VIP CARP of vlan IOT as GW in dhcp.
And which IP are we lookinf for?
-
vlan IOT: 10.10.56.0/27
VIP CARP/GW: 10.10.56.1
DHCP server/interface: 10.10.56.2 (pfmaster)Test from IP: 10.10.56.13
-
@empbilly
So you can see the ARP requests for the VIP and responses with the CARP MAC.
If these responses reach the device at 10.10.56.13, it should add the MAC to its ARP table.But obviously there is something going wrong. Even though there are ARP requests and correct responses for the CARP, the VIP is never addressed.

That is not good!!! :(
Yesterday I tried disabling the IGMP protocol on the switch, but anyway, I still can't get internet access when I configure VIP CARP as GW in DHCP.
I made new packet captures and they seem to say the same thing as the one above that I shared.
I would have to disable IGMP on all the switches in our infrastructure, correct?
EDIT1:
Anyway I disabled IGMP Snooping on the switches connected from our NOC to our office, but it still didn't go. Either they don't support the CARP traffic or there is some configuration to be done. -
@empbilly
To you see the ARP responses from 10.10.56.1 also on 10.10.56.13?
And if so, do you see the entry in its ARP table?If the ARP responses from the VIP reache the device, the issue can't be caused by the switch.
Is it the same result if you try to access a CARP VIP from another device?

From the machine I use for work, I can ping all the CARP VIPs.
In pfsense packet capture I have selected the vlan (ADM_LAN) corresponding to the IP of my work machine.
The result is below:

I don't expect to see other CARP VIP in the switch ARP table.
If the switch provides layer 2 for the devices it must not communicate with the VIPs of other subnets, but only its management subnet.
The connected devices need to access them, however, since they use them as gateways. -
@viragomann said in GW configuration - some questions:

ok.
Do I need to disable the IGMP protocol only on the switch that pfsense is directly connected to or do I need to disable it on the other switches in our infrastructure as well?
-
@empbilly
I would not expect that it even interferes with ARP in any way.
Maybe the switch would forward the CARP (VRRP) packets if IGMP is on, since they are multicasts, but CARP works obviously properly. But if it has an impact, disable it on the switch which is connected to pfSense should be sufficient. -
I am going over our entire topic and my settings and documenting them so that I don't get lost in what has been done.
The question below was answered by another user at the beginning of the topic.
Even if I haven't put pfbackup on the network yet, the GW CARP VIP should work?
