<p dir="auto">From the information supplied here:<br />
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/virtual-ip-address-comparison.html</p>
<p dir="auto">under ip alias:</p>
<p dir="auto">Can be added to localhost for binding services in routed subnets. IP Alias VIPs bound to localhost will synchronize via XMLRPC</p>
<p dir="auto">Why would pfsense choose to sync ip aliases defined on a loopback interface?<br />
Aren't these suppose to be kept unique across devices.</p>
<p dir="auto">Currently I had two vip alias /32's configured for daemon binding of services and use for router id's for BGP / OSPF.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now when I enable the sync the vip alias on firewall gets synced to the other firewall removing the other alias configured.</p>
<p dir="auto">I find this confusing why it would sync an ip alias on loopback interfaces as In my sense of things these should be unique across devices.</p>
<p dir="auto">I was using the alias not only for binding daemons but also use as main mgmt ip for the netgate devices.</p>
<p dir="auto">Is there somehow a way to make an exception for aliases not to sync.</p>
<p dir="auto">I only basically need the option to have the CARP VIPS and perhaps HA proxy information synced but not loopback interface aliases.</p>
<p dir="auto">Or should I just not use the virtual ip sync option at all and maintain them separately per device.<br />
Because of the sync it broke my setup and it's confusing to get the sync removed as soon as I remove the option and reconfigure the ip alias it still seems to be synced  somehow.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks</p>

<p dir="auto">I'm confused why aliases on loopback interfaces would need a sync for HA cluster</p>
