Greetings. Have a newbie question on carp and fail over setup. I have
searched and searched around, but my googlefu must be weak as most of
what I've found covers multi-WAN and load balancing, which is not what
I'm after.
I have looked at the following:
http://files.chi.pfsense.org/mirror/tutorials/carp/carp-cluster-new.htm
Out of date
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Configuring_pfSense_Hardware_Redundancy_(CARP)
Has a lot of info, but doesn't answer all my questions and concerns
I'm on a comcast business account, five statics using AON. All five
statics have traffic coming from them (DNS, mail, etc). At this time, I
have four of the five WAN IP's set up as proxy ARP, with the fifth
address assigned to the physical interface itself.
If I understand what docs I can find on this, I have to assign the pri
and fail over boxes their own IP, both public and private, with one
assigned as the default address.
To set this up, I have to assign all five WAN addresses as CARP
addresses, yes? So instead of four proxy ARP addresses, I will have
five CARP Virtual IP addresses defined, am I understanding this correctly?
And this will not affect the AON and inbound port forwarding rules, correct?
