      Hi all, i need to buy 2 switches capable to handle pfsense CARP ip.
      I'm projecting a MDC with 2 bare metal pfsense, connected to 1 WAN modem, so i need 1 switch 5 ports for WAN and 1 8 ports for LAN.
      Both must handle CARP ip from pfsense.

      I want to know from you which one you bought and has no problem at all.
      Prefer unmanaged cheap swtiches thanks

        Any switch should support CARP. The protocol simply sends out mulitcasts to talk to the other node. So both has only to be within the same L2 network.
