      Running CARP on 2 VM firewalls with 6 interfaces.  The 1st 5 I setup work fine.  I added the 6th and both firewalls want to be the master.  I have checked the VHID, Base, Skew & password.  I have deleted and added the VIP and still no luck.  When I add the VIP to the Master it replicates to the 2nd firewall as a Master.  I don't even put the VIP in the 2nd firewall.

        You should not have to put that in the second, though I don't know why it would think it was a master unless something about the new VIP is sensing something on that last interface. Is the interface setup differently (other than the IPs of course)?

          Yes, I know I should not put it in the 2nd.  I was just letting everyone know that.  It obviously is communicating with the Backup, it just sent the wrong info.  I can see the directed multicast on the pfSync int.  All of the interfaces use the E1000 and are em0-5.

            I am not sure then, are there anything in the logs indicating a problem? perhaps you could post some screen shots so we could all check it out.

                      Found the problem.  The switch did not have the vlan created, even though it was listed in the Port Channel.
