      Hello. I've got a client with an XG-7100 running pfSense 2.4.5, currently the latest release. This FW was set up as the Master in HA with another identical FW, which is not in place, nor ever was (we had to install this FW quickly on its own). It was throwing all sorts of communication errors because it couldn't find FW2, so I clicked on Temporarily Disable CARP.

      Suddenly I stopped getting DNS responses from any client, so I turned CARP back on. After I did that, the DHCP service stopped handing out IP addresses to any VLAN. I tried restarting the DHCP service, no go. I installed a known good config to the FW from several days ago, no good. The DHCP Status Page shows all VLANs except for Voice, in a "recover" state, and I can't seem to be able to get DHCP to work again. It's accessing the Internet, and the phones that have IP addresses, leased previously from FW1, are working.

      I'd really appreciate some help with this one. If anyone has seen this status, or heard of this particular behavior, please let me know. Thanks!
