<![CDATA[first steps with HA: where to put VLANs?]]>Set up my second HA-cluster today ... looks great.
For the project I work on I will have to provide VLANs on the LAN side and I wonder how to set that up on a CARP-cluster.

I could only assign VLANs to the LAN interface on the primary, is that OK?
Do I have to do that manually on both nodes in a way?

Any pointers? the pfsense book didn't tell me much here.
thanks in advance ..

e.g- vlan 10 192.168.10.2 primary 192.168.10.3 secondary 192.168.10.1 carp
vlan 20 192.168.20.2 primary 192.168.20.3 secondary 192.168.20.1 carp
On the switch side, both boxes would need to be connected to a vlan trunk carrying all the tagged vlans.
