In 2.5 Enter Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode/Leave Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode States do nothing
-
In Pfsense 2.5 Clicking on "Enter Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode" do nothing. CARP continues to work. Status on Master continue to be Master (not DISABLED). CARP trafic and emails continue to go from PFSENSE 2.5 instances where on this batton we read "Leave Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode". It is BUG definetly. On previous 2.4.5p3 this worked correctly.
"Temporary Disable CARP" works correctly. -
In my case on 3 routers clcking on "Enter Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode" does not disable CARP working on corresponding router. If anybody can check it?

@igor-arsenin CARP maintenance mode does not put the VIPs in DISABLED mode. It increases the advskew to 254.
If there are not "better" advertisements received from another node they will remain in the MASTER state.
This has not changed in several years.

@derelict BIG Thanks! After Your answer I can find in documentation this info about "advskew 254". In 2 topics "2.2 New Features and Changes" and "Troubleshooting High Availability". And not in main topic "CARP Status" where "Maintenance Mode" is describerd. And where both buttons placed "Temporary disable CARP" and "Enter Persistent CARP Maintenance Mode" :( So incorrect association about persistently disabling CARP.
