CARP and pfsync both needs IPs to operate. In pfsync's case, it'll use
multicast or a unicast address. For CARP, failover is on a per IP basis
and CARP'ed addresses require an address on an existing interface.

pfsync, carp, transparent bridge

2004-09-02 Thread Lyle Worthington
I have found other instances of this question, but never a complete
answer on how to do this...

Our firewall is ipless, all traffic just runs through it because it is
the only way in or out of our network.  We have discussed different
options but at this time are unable to change our setup.  Has anyone
gotten this working with pfsync and carp?  Does carp/pf control the
status of the bridge so whichever firewall is the master the bridge is
up, and the other firewall's bridge is down?  We are worried about
duplicate packets hitting/leaving our network as we would just have a
hub from the router to the external interfaces and a hub from the
internal interfaces to the network.

Thanks,
