What is ['uniqid'] in function get_configured_carp_interface_list of util.inc

[ssheikh]

Can someone put a second pair of eyes on this please -

I am looking at lines 957 and 987 of /etc/inc/util.inc.

if ($carpinterface == "_vip{$vip['uniqid']}") {

and

$iflist["_vip{$vip['uniqid']}"] = $vip['subnet'];

What is "uniqid"? Is there somehow a conversion taking place of "vhid" to "uniqid" in the parsing of config.xml?

Thanks.

Forgot to mention that I am looking at 2.2 code.

This was "vhid" in 2.1.5 /etc/inc/utili.inc

Ok, I see uniqids got introduced in https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/89f171b052fbe72aed654d2a1c3d5a24e9bf9902

hmmm… Need to stop tinkering with this since its beyond my understanding. For sure I thought uniqid should show up in config.xml for CARP VIPs but maybe some sort of magic is going on behind the scenes someplace.
