Yes, actually you should have have an identical advbase, but an higher advskew on the backup. If the master box looses one of its links, it bumps the advskew to 240 so that the backup has a chance to take over all carp interfaces. > > the master.

The latter. Ifstated is useful for some more advanced monitoring or reporting cases.
