Hi - well this sounds interesting, though not very encouraging! The whole thing is set up on a test bench at the moment, and as it happens, we are using *different* types of switches on different interfaces. The LANs are using 24-port Netgears, and the WANs are using cheapo D-Link consumer switches temporarily. All but one are unmanaged, though I think we'll be using the managed ones in the production setup. This looks like a tricky one to diagnose - maybe it will all 'just work' in production? :-)
CARP is a multicast protocol and uses a multicast MAC address. The cheap switches _should_ handle it fine, with that said, I've only run it on high end Cisco's, Nortels, a netgear (consumer grade) and whatever is built into my cable modem and when I had it dsl modem. One the Ciscos and Nortels, I've certainly run it 'cross switch where each firewall interface was on a different interface, it works (be careful with the Nortels, we ran into code bugs with them). Not sure what more I can suggest, it sounds like you've got a pretty basic setup and it's still not working properly :-/ --Bill --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
