    HI guys,

    I am setting up a pfSense FW that will be used only at Layer 2. Everything is working fine, except that I don't have any idea about how I can set the Failover between two L2 Interfaces, CARP can be configured only on Layer 3 and I will use bridges with L2 interfaces.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

      To be more clear.
      I have 4 Interfaces in the two pfsense machines.
      1.em0 - Management interface
      2.em1- Vlan1 - L2
      3.em2- Vlan2 - L2
      4.Bridge0 between em1 and em2 - L2

      If I create a VIP CARP for em0, I will have the bridge interfaces in Active/Active and it create a loop. Of course I am looking for a method to avoid this.
