yes, this is what i am suspecting as well. can you check your config.xml and look for the <pppoeha> section. it should look something like this:

 <pppoeha>
                        <config>
                                <row>
                                        <enabled>ON</enabled>
                                        <iface>wan</iface>
                                        <vipref>17</vipref>
                                </row>
                        </config>
                </pppoeha>

                                </row>
                        </config>
                </pppoeha>

Where i can find this config.xml?

perrin

@zjamali ah sorry. you can either download a backup (under backup/restore) or directly on the box with ssh do something like:

grep -A10 pppoeha /conf/config.xml

@perrin

is it because vipref == 0? my first vhid comes with id = 0

Yup, that cause it. i changed to VHID LAN, id != 0, its appear in log

perrin

@zjamali great, thanks for figuring that out. I need to check why it's not working with vipref=0.

currently i have no idea why this happens. vipref 0 is just the first item in the vips. config_get_path is a standard pfsense function.

Maybe it is something with the way you configured that vip? is your first VIP configured differently ffrom the one you were using later?

zjamali

@perrin Its the first vip configured in both pfsense node. So it gets id = 0.

perrin

@zjamali this is the way the dropdown in the PPPoE-HA GUI looks in my production firewall:

in my case VHID 18 is the one that is configured for failover.

Can you check if yours maybe starts with VHID 0?

zjamali

@perrin Mine also start with VHID 1 but if you go to Firewall -> Virtual IP, there is listing of all VIP, you hover on the edit button for first VHID, the url link will say its id=0

id = 0 is for internal system id for record creation whilst VHID 1 is for user POV, if i am not mistaken.

perrin

@zjamali yep, same here. I'll debug why it is not working on the first VIP later.
Can you temporarely work with a different VIP?

Should be OK. no issue
