Can you briefly explain what 'address learning' is according to D-Link?

According to page 15 of the reference manual "address learning" is:
Enable or disable MAC address learning for the selected ports. When
Enabled, destination and
source MAC addresses are automatically listed in the forwarding
table. When address learning
is Disabled, MAC addresses must be manually entered into the
forwarding table. This is
sometimes done for reasons of security or efficiency. See the section
on Forwarding/Filtering
for information on entering MAC addresses into the forwarding table.
The default setting is
Enabled.
One other thing. I need to note that I have dedicated a CARP
interface on each Pfsense box connected to each over via a cross-over
cable.
Please do not top-post.
So Address Learing should be enabled.
1) do you see one box as stand-by, another one as active in
web-interface?
2) connect laptop instead of ISP's cable and run packet capture you
should be able to see once a second carp-heartbeat (multicast mac +
carp IP in destination field).
If one pfSense shows Active, another one shows Stand-by and on the
laptop you see heartbeat from only one (master) pfSense then you did
not mess up with carp configuration and vlans on the switch.
Evgeny.
1. All the Master and backup status notifications in the web interface
on both PFSense boxes show the correct status
2. I'll do a packet capture tomorrow and see if the carp-heartbeat shows up
I was unaware that any Carp related traffic passed between any of the
interfaces except the one designated as the synchronization interface.
I need to double-check the multi-cast configuration on the switch
tomorrow also ( I think I have multi-cast enabled on the switch, but
need to confirm that).
