Can anyone explain to me why I can't get my CARP interfaces up again after changing the spanning-tree version on our customer switch?

 

We have 2x switches connected to our freebsd routers and a fibre link between the switches.

Customer have a port on each switch going to a third switch and between the 3 switches we have spanning tree running for redundant paths.

I changed the spanning-tree on the customer switch (switch 3) and now my carp interface look like this

 

 

carp135: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500

        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.2 netmask 0xffffff00

        carp: MASTER vhid 7 advbase 1 advskew 100

 

carp135: flags=49<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 1500

        inet xxx.xxx.xxx.2 netmask 0xffffff00

        carp: MASTER vhid 7 advbase 1 advskew 0

 

I tried changing it back to the original spanning-tree but it still doesn't work

 

$ sysctl net.inet.carp

net.inet.carp.allow: 1

net.inet.carp.preempt: 1

net.inet.carp.log: 1

net.inet.carp.arpbalance: 0

net.inet.carp.suppress_preempt: 0
