      Not unlike 2015 unanswered post https://forum.netgate.com/topic/78354/send-error-55-with-vtnet we've had some recent issues with an HA pair of 6100s where router2 logs that it is the Master:

      Nov 6 14:04:54 kernel carp: 150@ix3: BACKUP -> MASTER (master timed out)
      Nov 6 14:04:54 kernel carp: 155@ix3: BACKUP -> MASTER (master timed out)

      but then it recovers immediately:

      Nov 6 14:04:56 kernel carp: 155@ix3: MASTER -> BACKUP (more frequent advertisement received)
      Nov 6 14:04:56 kernel carp: 150@ix3: MASTER -> BACKUP (more frequent advertisement received)

      That is from the first set of entries but there were a few pairs like that.

      Router1 logs this:
      Nov 6 14:05:27 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:05:27 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:05:15 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:05:15 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:58 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:58 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:53 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:53 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:33 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:32 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send ok on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:31 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)
      Nov 6 14:04:31 kernel carp: demoted by 0 to 0 (send error 55 on ix3)

      (note, either the times don't line up, or "14:04:31" didn't trigger the failover on router2)

      Could this be a switch problem? Like the above post I looked at mbufs which per router1 have a max of about 24000 out of 1 million.

      We upgraded these two routers to 24.03 six months ago so that's not new. I restarted both last week. This happens every few days, say somewhere between 1-10 days.

      Anything else we can look at?

      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.
