https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191832 Bug ID: 191832 Summary: carp breaks the network Product: Base System Version: 10.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: smh@FreeBSD.org When creating a carp initialises we're seeing it break the existing mast. The reason being it adds the IP to the physical interface before it configures the custom MAC. This results in network devices e.g. cisco switches learning the wrong MAC for the address. Once this happens the BACKUP sees traffic instead of the MASTER. Having a look through seems to confirm the ordering of IP -> MAC assignment could well be incorrect. This is a major issue when using CARP as it means is highly unreliable :( -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
