CARP LAN both are master.

Johan,
I'm seeing exactly the same problem on the lan-carp.
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.
Running 1.2RC3

Edit: Tried a different switch and same problem.
Very simple setup as well.

sullrich · Dec 7, 2007, 8:20 PM

Well then try another switch. This really does work fine and is one of our most heavily used features…

dtran · Dec 7, 2007, 8:46 PM

I tried 3 different switches already.
I think I know what it is now.

box 1: is a master with wan-carp and lan-carp. captive portal is running
box 2: if captive portal is enable, the lan-carp will switch to master. As soon as the I disable captive portal, then the lan-carp will show up as "backup" right away.

Is pfsync checking on the portal state on the LAN interface ?
portal is running on LAN int, not lan-carp so why should this affect the CARP state?

sullrich · Dec 7, 2007, 10:02 PM

Eh? Please show the output of "ipfw show" from a command line / console. We are allowing CARP/PFSYNC traffic. Or we should be…

dtran · Dec 7, 2007, 10:31 PM

on box#1 - carp state for both wan and lan are "master"

on box#2 running pfsense. If captive portal is disabled, then the lan-carp state is "back up". ipfw show:

pfsense2:/# ipfw show
ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available

If I enable the captive portal, then the lan-carp state is "master" while wan-carp is still "backup". ipfw show is showing the rules.

sullrich · Dec 8, 2007, 9:25 AM

I need a ipfw show when CP is ENABLED.

dtran · Dec 9, 2007, 7:22 AM

I'm using all public ip stuff - I sent it to your private email.
If you can take a look and help me out that will be great.
I did not want to include the public IPs here.

Thanks

Sylhouette · Dec 9, 2007, 10:22 AM

If i use the packet capture (gui) in pfsense for wich packages must i look for.(the missing multicast).
I do not have fysical access to the router, so i can not go to console.

Secondly is there a list of switches that work out of the box and which do not.

I did not replace the switch (we do not have them in stock!!) but i do not use Captive Portal.

dtran · Dec 10, 2007, 6:10 PM

@Sullrich,
here is the capture of ipfw show on the 2nd pfsense box in which the LAN CARP is showing as master instead of backup.

I just commited some fixes for this. Please install a snapshot from http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/updates/ in 2-3 hours from now.

dtran · Dec 10, 2007, 11:05 PM

I updated firmware on both boxes. It is showing:

1.2-RC3
built on Mon Dec 10 16:14:30 EST 2007

anyway, the new firmware still showing the same status as before.
On the 2nd box, wan-carp is "back-up" and lan-carp status is still "master" when captive portal is enabled on the 2nd box. At the same time, box #1 is showing both wan-carp and lan-carp as master (captive portal also enabled),

Also, when I manually disable captive portal on the second box, console via com port is showing:

IP firewall unloaded
Warning: memory type IpFw/IpAcct leaked memory on destroy (1 allocations, 1024 b
ytes leaked).
ipfw2 (+ipv6) initialized, divert loadable, rule-based forwarding enabled, defau
lt to accept, logging disabled

sullrich · Dec 10, 2007, 11:32 PM

Do you see two new rules of "ipfw show" that mention carp and pfsync?

dtran · Dec 11, 2007, 4:19 PM

no - I did not see that at all.
I compared the old output and new and they are nearly identical.
Let me look closer.

edit: I did not see anything different.

sullrich · Dec 11, 2007, 5:37 PM

Tell me if /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc has pfsync and carp in it.

You can do this from a shell: cat /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc | grep pfsync

dtran · Dec 11, 2007, 6:14 PM

No. nothing there.
grep for pfsync in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc does not show any occurrence of pfsync.

sullrich · Dec 11, 2007, 6:19 PM

Then you must have upgraded before the snapshot server created the newer images.

Please upgrade to an image from http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz

dtran · Dec 11, 2007, 7:32 PM

do you have the full-embedded image because that's what I'm using here.
Thanks

edit: I'm getting the pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz - will that work?

edit 2: I upgraded both boxes with new image.
cat /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc | grep pfsync is not showing anything.

The 2nd box is still showing "master" on lan-carp when captiveportal is enabled.
I guess the pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz does not have the patch.
system overview is showing:
1.2-RC3
built on Tue Dec 11 11:52:19 EST 2007

sullrich · Dec 11, 2007, 7:40 PM

Reinstall from a recent snapshot then, please.

dtran · Dec 11, 2007, 8:02 PM

Do you mean you want me to physdiskwrite using the pfSense-Embedded-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz rather than the firmware load via the GUI ?

sullrich · Dec 11, 2007, 8:06 PM

Yep.
