      Hi

      I've recently upgraded to pfSense 2.1. I have a CARP / NAT failover setup. Back on pfSense 1.2, I could create a new CARP VIP for each public IP Adress without problems.

      Now, if I try to create a new Entry, I get the error:

      "The /31 and /32 subnet mask are invalid for CARP IPs."

      Settings are: "Type: CARP, Interface WAN, IP-Adresse 195.X.X.X / 32"

      I also can't change the prev entrys. I used to create a seperate entry for every host. Why I can't do this anymore?

        Well which part isn't clear exactly? :)

        You can't use subnet with less than 3 usable IPs in it - Node1, Node2, VirtuapIP. Also the virtual IP should have subnet mask the same as the interface itself.

            CARP is the way the virtual IP address sharing between two hosts works. If you don't have two hosts - you can't have CARP. Which means subnet with at least 3 available IPs is required.

              CARP VIPs are always single host addresses. The subnet mask on a CARP VIP must match the parent subnet. So if you WAN is x.x.x.a/28, then your CARP VIP must be (for example) x.x.x.b/28 – it's still just one IP. It's not like proxy ARP where it makes a bunch of IPs if you pick a larger mask.
