Hi,
I am currently revising a pair of openbsd routers we are running (and
btw running them quite happily for a while now!).
[...]
Ideally - I guess - since all the mentioned carp interfaces share a
physical interface, I would want the backup machine to switch into
master state for all carp interfaces on em1, and not only one.
If I understand the documentation on carp's vhid correctly, interfaces
sharing the same vhid, share the same virtual MAC address, and, in turn,
if one of them fails or is being shutdown, all interfaces with the same
vhid are being "transferred" to the backup machine.
Is this correct?
Yes, but...
You have to physically unplug em1 from network. It's not enough to just do
ifconfig {em1,carp1,vlan1} down
Are there any good reasons for not sharing the same vhid across all carp
interfaces in the described scenario?
I've just made a test. With same vhid 'ifconfig carp down' still
changes nothing
ifconfig vlan1 down works the way you want.
