Re: [pfSense Support] Carp failover time
What is the average time for the carp failover to kick in... i.e. how much time does it take for the backup to become master and start serving requests and vice versa? Is the timing parameter configurable? I have both the WAN and LAN gw as carp ip. I as a human have never been faster then the failover, meaning that I immediately refreshed the CARP status screen after pulling a cable and that it was already showing master. It is at least within a second.

Re: [pfSense Support] Carp failover time
I think we're discussing timeouts related to OSI levels 2 or 3. A physical disconnect is of course immediate, but i think other factors should be considered, like watchdog style errors, ping timeouts, and transport layer failures. I hope we can document points of failure and expected delays for each. best, mike-- On Sat, 02 Jul 2011 17:36:39 +0200, Peter van der Leek wrote: What is the average time for the carp failover to kick in... i.e. how much time does it take for the backup to become master and start serving requests and vice versa?

Immediate if it's expected (i.e. you reboot the master), 1-2 seconds by default if it's not (such as yanking the power plug or any other failure to communicate by the master). Is the timing parameter configurable? Yes, search advskew and advbase. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
