Greetings list,
Does anyone know if pfSense includes support for failover between two LAN
interfaces?
For example, one can provide high availability using CARP to create a virtual
router IP failing over between 2 pfSense boxes, but that's not going to solve
the problem of a switch dying. It'd be useful to be able to connect 2
interfaces from each box to the LAN (one to each switch), then configure them
using spanning tree protocol (or one of the derivatives).
If it's not currently included, are there plans to do so, and/or what sort of
financial incentive would encourage development on that front? :-)
You can accommodate for switch failure with CARP. Plug one firewall into
one switch and the other into another.
Support for Etherchannel was being worked on for 1.3, but the developer
who was doing it is not able to finish the work (for non-technical
reasons) so it may or may not make the 1.3 release.
