I recently migrated a pfSense virtual machine (version 1.2.2) that was

migrated that virtual machine over to a Hyper-V R2 machine, and all was well
except that the 2 additional CARP IPs do not respond to traffic (although
traffic to/from/in/out of the WAN's actual IP works fine). After rebooting
nearly every piece of equipment between the servers and the ISP, the only
thing that made the CARP IPs work again was migrating the virtual machine
back to the original Hyper-V (non-R2) host.

 

Any ideas on why CARP IPs wouldn't work on Hyper-V R2? Is there something
since 1.2.2 that might change this?

 

Thanks,

I do not know a lot about Hyper-v but in VMWare for instance you can block
frames with 'faked' mac-addresses. Probably you hit the same problem as
CARP-packets have MAC-addresses 'not real' but specifically crafted. Weird
thing though in your e-mail is that you mention only one virtual machine...
do you use CARP-IPs with one pfSense? if yes then why would you need such
set up?

I have several public IPs from the ISP, and need to use each of them for
different purposes (SSL/TCP-443 for different sites & services). I use CARP
addresses for the rest of the IPs I've been given-then if I get the
opportunity to add redundancy, they are already set up that way. Obviously
the point is that the additional CARP addresses don't seem to function at
all when pfSense is run under Hyper-V R2 as opposed to Hyper-V R1, and I am
hoping to resolve that issue so that the old server can be formatted and
upgraded and added to the cluster.. FWIW, both hosts are Dell PowerEdge
2900s *identically* configured, with the only exception currently being the
of the amount of RAM,
