From analysis of a simple ifstated.conf to more compex example

[peter knezel]

Well,

I am not fully familiar with CARP, but if the different carp interfaces are
used for different purpose (ftp, tftp, scp), is it a good idea to put down
all of them, if they are able to serve their purpose?

BTW, what is  CARP preemption and how is it possible to enable it?

Kind regards,

Peter
