      Ive set up a CARP-CLUSTER for some month ago but I have big problems with it getting it stable.

      The problem Im experiencing is that sometimes i get big lagspikes and even get time outs on all interfaces. Often when I use multicasts and when this happens you cant even access the fw:s from the console or the webinterface. The solution when this happens is to unplug the cable for the wan-interface on fw2. Then all goes back to normal and the lag disappears.

      Is there anyone else that has experienced something like this? All help is appreciated.

        I had similar problems and the combination of the following solved it:
        1./ My state table size was set up as too small, when it filled up there have been some connectivity problems.
        2./ 70MBps of traffic created about 90% interrupt load, which I was able to slash down with switching Polling on.
        3./ I had to switch off state table sync, since it generated too much traffic (20MBps)

          Thanks for helping me..

          1. My table-size is already set to 100000
          2. Tried device polling with no result.
          3. Where can I disable the sync of the state table?

            In Firewall-Virtual IPs-Carp Settings-Synchronize Enabled.

              Yea I figured it out… Ive now tried with device polling, disabling syncing the state table, changed the table size with no result.

              Still when Im ghosting with multicast I get the same high ping issues and interrupts...
