      Hello i have 2 pfsense machines (soekriss 5501). that do CARP.
      Just simpel Wan and Lan.
      Now on the master Wan and Lan are master but on the slave the LAN interface is also Master.

      This gives me a lot of timeouts and slow network, if i shutdown the slave, things are running normal.

      What could be the cause of this.

      Thnaks for your time
      regards,
      Johan

        We'll need some more details. Is the SYNC on a dedicated interface? Did you allow all traffic via the SYNC interface on both boxes? Can you ping the SYNC interfaces from the other CARP node? Can you ping the LAN interfaces from the other CARP node?

          both pfsense boxes are on a soekriss 5501 board  with 4 interfaces.

          lan 192.168.0.0 on vr0  Wan 81.x.x.x on vr1  and sync 192.168.200.0 on vr3  vr4 is not used.
          The sync ports are connected through a crosscable. master 192.168.200.1 and slave 192.168.200.2
          All changes made on the master show up on the slave, the rules allow all protocols from the sync network
          (i followed the tutorial about failover.)
          slave has ip 192.168.0.252 master has 192.168.0.251 virtual ip is 192.168.0.2

          i can ping from master 192.168.200.1 on sync to slave 192.168.200.2 and visa versa
          i can ping both lan and virtual ips all together.

          they are connected to the main wan switch an old nortel 10/100 switch.

          the wan interface (which is working well) is connected to a netgear 5 ports switch.

          i just read in threads it could be something of multicast and some switches.

          thanks
          Johan

            Generally this happens when your switch doesn't properly support multicast traffic, or is configured to block it, or something of that nature. Check your switch firmware, configuration, etc. and if possible try a different switch.

              Johan,
              I'm seeing exactly the same problem on the lan-carp.
              I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.
              Running 1.2RC3

              Edit:  Tried a different switch and same problem.
              Very simple setup as well.

                Well then try another switch.  This really does work fine and is one of our most heavily used features…

                  I tried 3 different switches already.
                  I think I know what it is now.

                  box 1: is a master with wan-carp and lan-carp.  captive portal is running
                  box 2: if captive portal is enable, the lan-carp will switch to master.  As soon as the I disable captive portal, then the lan-carp will show up as "backup" right away.

                  Is pfsync checking on the portal state on the LAN interface ?
                  portal is running on LAN int, not lan-carp so why should this affect the CARP state?

                    Eh?  Please show the output of "ipfw show" from a command line / console.  We are allowing CARP/PFSYNC traffic.  Or we should be…

                      on box#1 - carp state for both wan and lan are "master"

                      on box#2 running pfsense.  If captive portal is disabled, then the lan-carp state is "back up".  ipfw show:

                      pfsense2:/#  ipfw show
                      ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_GET): Protocol not available

                      If I enable the captive portal, then the lan-carp state is "master" while wan-carp is still "backup". ipfw show is showing the rules.

                          I'm using all public ip stuff - I sent it to your private email.
                          If you can take a look and help me out that will be great.
                          I did not want to include the public IPs here.

                          Thanks

                            If i use the packet capture (gui) in pfsense for wich packages must i look for.(the missing multicast).
                            I do not have fysical access to the router, so i can not go to console.

                            Secondly is there a list of switches that work out of the box and which do not.

                            I did not replace the switch (we do not have them in stock!!) but i do not use Captive Portal.

                                  I updated firmware on both boxes.  It is showing:

                                  1.2-RC3
                                  built on Mon Dec 10 16:14:30 EST 2007

                                  anyway, the new firmware still showing the same status as before. 
                                  On the 2nd box, wan-carp is "back-up" and lan-carp status is still "master" when captive portal is enabled on the 2nd box.  At the same time, box #1 is showing both wan-carp and lan-carp as master (captive portal also enabled),

                                  Also, when I manually disable captive portal on the second box, console via com port is showing:

                                    Do you see two new rules of "ipfw show" that mention carp and pfsync?

                                      no - I did not see that at all.
                                      I compared the old output and new and they are nearly identical.
                                      Let me look closer.

                                      edit:  I did not see anything different.

                                        Tell me if /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc has pfsync and carp in it.

                                        You can do this from a shell: cat /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc | grep pfsync

                                          No. nothing there.
                                          grep for pfsync in /etc/inc/captiveportal.inc does not show any occurrence of pfsync.

                                            Then you must have upgraded before the snapshot server created the newer images.

                                            Please upgrade to an image from http://snapshots.pfsense.com/FreeBSD6/RELENG_1_2/updates/pfSense-Full-Update-1.2-RC3.tgz
