      @marcolefo So in your initial description they are both master? Sounds like a connectivity loss between them every 15 minutes. Switch problem?

      Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

        @steveits no the backup become master (as the log says) but on the GUI it's still BACKUP.

        And note that the network happens too when the MASTER has been shutdowned.

        I don't know if there is a link there is a cron every 15 minutes that launch /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync/rc.filter_configure_sync

            @marcolefo said in CARP switch Master/Backup every 15 minutes:

            no the backup become master (as the log says)

            But then there should be a log on the primary that it became backup? If you're saying it successfully/correctly moves?

            but on the GUI it's still BACKUP

            The log entries you posted are all within the same second so it would be tough to catch in the GUI.

            /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync/rc.filter_configure_sync

            Not /etc/rc.filter_configure_sync? That shorter path is a normal file and is from time based rules: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/137911/cron-job-etc-rc-filter_configure_sync. If that causes a connectivity break that could cause the flapping.

            Do you have a lot of rules? The System Patches package has a patch for https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12827.

              @steveits we have changed the switch with no change.

              Perhaps LACP problem ?

                Yes it's a bug of my fingers ;). The cron is exactly :

                0,15,30,45 	* 	* 	* 	* 	root 	/etc/rc.filter_configure_sync

                Do you have a lot of rules? The System Patches package has a patch for https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12827.

                Yes a lot of rules we have. I will take a look at this link now

                  I am quite a noob... I don't find the way to install patch...

                      @steveits thanks a lot !

                      The patch is working. No more ping lost no more zoom freeze, happiness.

                      I have another problem: no more sync between MASTER and BACKUP. I will make another thread ;).

                      Thanks again.

                        Ok everything is ok now.
                        The sync problem was a bad rule on pfsync interface.
                        Thanks again for your help and have a nice week end
