Hello,
I'll lecture a training scheduled for next week, where I plan
to talk about pfSense, besides m0n0wall.
I'd like to show them the failover feature, but it didn't work
as expected, following the website's tutorial. I also did
searches at the mailing list history and I haven't found any
messages about problemas or hints with this feature, with
leads me to think that my configuration is missing something.
About the configuration made:
1) Started with two factory reset pfSense 0.86.4 Generic PC firewalls.
2) Followed the animated tutorial for failover
3) Noticed that that tutorial misses the sync interfaces configuration,
that should be done prior the failover steps, so I did factory reset the
firewalls and started over.
4) Noticed that the backup firewall carp interfaces screen isn't the
exactly the same that the tutorial shows: it's missing the icons and is
blank
where it should be showing
5) Confirmed:
- That the WAN and LAN Virtual IPs were pinged from the LAN client
- The client was able to navigate using the LAN Virtual IP as a gateway
- That packets arrived external sites with the WAN Virtual IP
- When I shutdown the Master firewall, both Virtual IPs also disappeared.
There's an PDF to illustrate what happened, and a jpg with the lab scenario
available at:

I've just noticed that the pfSense-LiveCD-0.87.iso is available.
I haven't tested it, but if my configuration isn't correct, I guess it
doesn't matter the pfsense version, right? :-)
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Alex
