      PFS 2.1.3 and Quagga OSPFD 0.99.22.3 v0.6.2 two nodes with CARP.

      Ospfd is set up to monitor the CARP address and start/stop on switchover. Unfortunately it doesn't do it.
      When i disable CARP on the master node, the ospfd process should stop, and on the slave node it should start. To make the OSPF fail-over I have to go at Services>Quagga Ospfd and just do Save on both nodes - on the master it stops the daemon, on the slave it starts it. It's the same for fail-back.

      Anyone else with the same issue?

        Have you made the changes to /etc/rc.carpmaster and /etc/carpbackup on both servers and have you entered the correct IP address on the Quagga OSPFd page?

        Edit rc.carpbackup file
        From PFsense open Diagnostics-Edit file.
        Browse to /etc/rc.carpbackup
        at the bottom of the file type the following:
        mwexec_bg("/usr/local/etc/rc.d/quagga.sh stop");

        Edit rc.carpmaster file
        From PFsense open Diagnostics-Edit file.
        Browse to /etc/rc.carpmaster
        at the bottom of the file type the following:
        mwexec_bg("/usr/local/etc/rc.d/quagga.sh start");

        Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

          Very lame  ;D
          Dunno how I've missed that one… Will do it right away!

          It says a change is required, but it doesn't say how the change should look like:
