last try (anyone who here who has a working carp setup??)

[Mark Jayson Alvarez]

Hi,
Been trying to make this work for the past three days,
yet still no luck.

On host A (which is suppose to be the master):

xl0:
flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
        options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet6 fe80::201:2ff:fe88:d8c%xl0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x1
        inet 10.10.8.144 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
10.10.8.255
        ether 00:01:02:88:0d:8c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX
<full-duplex>)
        status: active
plip0:
flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT>
mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu
16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
carp0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.8.146 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: MASTER vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 0



On host B (which is supposed to be the backup)
xl0:
flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
        options=9<RXCSUM,VLAN_MTU>
        inet6 fe80::201:2ff:fe90:1957%xl0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x1
        inet 10.10.8.145 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
10.10.8.255
        ether 00:01:02:90:19:57
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX
<full-duplex>)
        status: active
plip0:
flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT>
mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu
16384
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
carp0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500
        inet 10.10.8.146 netmask 0xffffff00
        carp: BACKUP vhid 1 advbase 1 advskew 100


Even host B with a higher advskew, both of them seems
to be the BACKUP... no MASTER at all. pinging
10.10.8.146 won't reply.... however.. arping works?
Now the big question... how am I going to use this
virtual IP if I can't even ping it???


Thanks...
