Master/Backup problem
-
Running CARP on 2 VM firewalls with 6 interfaces. The 1st 5 I setup work fine. I added the 6th and both firewalls want to be the master. I have checked the VHID, Base, Skew & password. I have deleted and added the VIP and still no luck. When I add the VIP to the Master it replicates to the 2nd firewall as a Master. I don't even put the VIP in the 2nd firewall.

You should not have to put that in the second, though I don't know why it would think it was a master unless something about the new VIP is sensing something on that last interface. Is the interface setup differently (other than the IPs of course)?
-
Yes, I know I should not put it in the 2nd. I was just letting everyone know that. It obviously is communicating with the Backup, it just sent the wrong info. I can see the directed multicast on the pfSync int. All of the interfaces use the E1000 and are em0-5.
-
I am not sure then, are there anything in the logs indicating a problem? perhaps you could post some screen shots so we could all check it out.

Screens

Another; no errors in the logs
-
No other carp interface are using VHID 6?
-
No, I even deleted 6 and created a new on with 7; same results.

Found the problem. The switch did not have the vlan created, even though it was listed in the Port Channel.
