Hi, I have CARP set up on two pairs of firewalls running OpenBSD directly on metal. It works like a charm for almost 3 years now. Failover is almost instant when shutting down master node. I am trying to implement CARP on a pair of FreeBSD 10.1 servers running on top of VMWare ESXi 5.5U2, but so far haven't succedded. I tried both e1000 and vmx3f vNICs. I have made adjustments to ESXi as described here: https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/CARP_Configuration_Troubleshooting#Hypervisor_users_.28Especially_VMware_ESX.2FESXi.29 I had interfaces stuck in INIT mode until I found this thread: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2014-October/040116.html After i put 'up' at the end of ifconfig_em0 It appears I am getting MASTER and BACKUP, however on reboot of master, failover happens only after master completely shuts down, which is almost 5 seconds. Is CARP supposed to work on FreeBSD 10.1 as ESXi 5.5 guest the same as on bare-metal OpenBSD (instant failover)? If so, I'd be very grateful if someone pointed me in the right direction. Thank you in advance, -- Marko Cupać https://www.mimar.rshelp
