CARP VIP not reachable from another BSD machine, but from all other Linux hosts
-
Hello,
I have a (at least to me) very strange problem. I can ping my virtual (carp) ip from all my linux hosts in that subnet, but it can't be reached from a freenas (bsd) machine. At the moment I'm using the pfsense0 "real" ip as a gateway for my freenas, which works fine, but of course can't fail over.My setup is the following:
10.2.0.1 <- virtual ip (carp)
10.2.0.100 <- pfsense0
10.2.0.101 <- pfsenes1
10.2.0.3 <- bsd machine (in this case a freenas)
10.2.0.2 <- linux machinefrom the linux vm:
$ ping -c 3 10.2.0.1 PING 10.2.0.1 (10.2.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.365 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.606 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.669 ms --- 10.2.0.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 1998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.365/0.546/0.669/0.133 ms
from the freenas machine:
[root@freenas ~]# ping -c 3 10.2.0.1 PING 10.2.0.1 (10.2.0.1): 56 data bytes --- 10.2.0.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
but the freenas vm can reach the "real ips":
ping -c 3 10.2.0.100 PING 10.2.0.100 (10.2.0.100): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.2.0.100: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.294 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.100: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.399 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.100: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.307 ms --- 10.2.0.100 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.294/0.333/0.399/0.047 ms
[root@freenas ~]# ping -c 3 10.2.0.101 PING 10.2.0.101 (10.2.0.101): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.2.0.101: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.391 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.494 ms 64 bytes from 10.2.0.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.318 ms --- 10.2.0.101 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.318/0.401/0.494/0.072 ms
Any ideas why this might work from the linux machines, but fails from a bsd machine?

No one with an idea? That usually means that I asked a really stupid question :-)
I also might be completely wrong with the idea that it has something to do with the difference between BSD and Linux.
Any help here is very welcome. I have no idea left on where to look for the problem.
