Hello, I'm upgrading our firewalls to OpenBSD 5.3 (with erratas) from 5.1 :
As far I can see now, the firewall (without any problem) starts with a carp demote count = "33". On 5.1 the demote count was = 0 looks like the "33" comes with a pfsync bulk start Jul 29 13:51:01 ucop2 /bsd: carp: pfsync0 demoted group pfsync by 1 to 33 (pfsync bulk start) Questions - is it the intented behavior? - how to fix this? - why 33 instead 42? While I'm here, it would be nice to be abble to set the demote counter with an absolute value, we use it to demote the master if BGP fails. Thanks.
