If an interface participating in a CARP cluster becomes a member of a bridge, it loses the ability to communicate on the CARP IP when it becomes the master. Environment: System: FreeBSD lorax.kcilink.com 10.0-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p6 #2 r267868: Wed Jun 25 09:49:14 EDT 2014 vivek@lorax.kcilink.com:/u/lorax1/usr10/obj/u/lorax1/usr10/src/sys/KCI64 amd64 How-To-Repeat: ifconfig em0 alias vhid 205 advskew 100 pass dnsprv 192.168.97.97/23 -> on other host, bring down CARP or set the advskew to 200 to allow this host to become master. at the point, you are able to ping and access services on 192.168.97.97 just fine. Restore the other member as the CARP master by adjusting advskew on the other host back to below 100. Now, do this: ifconfig tap0 create ifconfig bridge0 create ifconfig bridge0 addm tap0 addm em0 up And again, bring this host to be the master by adjusting advskew on the other host > 100. The CARP member of em0 will show it is MASTER, but you cannot ping or access 192.168.97.97 on this machine at all. Fix: none known. workaround is to avoid using a bridge, but I need that for a bhyve guest OS.
Over to maintainers.
Is this still a problem? Is it related to 200319?
(In reply to Palle Girgensohn from comment #2) I see the same problem on 11.1, so - yes.
