Hello, I made a post to this list several weeks ago regarding transparent bridging + pf + rstp + failover. My experiments with RSTP / MSTP with my switch and freebsd transparent bridging produced many problems. So I would like to remove the 'transparent' item out of the equasion and assign an ip address to my bridge and provide a gateway ip to all my devices through a CARP failover IP address. So my network will look like this : [switch vlan1] | | [fw1 bridge ip x.x.x.x] [fw2 bridge ip x.x.x.y] | | [fw1 CARP gateway IP x.x.x.x] - [fw2 CARP SLAVE gateway IP x.x.x.x] | | [switch vlan2] | [devices (gateway set to CARP gatway IP)] Does anyone see a problem with this configuration? I want to get around the locking issues experienced with transparent bridging with only 1 switch and 2 vlans. My mind is a mess from all these problems so if I'm missing something obvious, please let me know! Many thanks, Kevin
