Then STP *is* working. :-) I’m unclear on how you can have CARP functioning – or even what you’re attempting, actually – if the two pfSense boxes are covering different VLANs; can you provide more detail on your setup?
Also, what flavour of STP are you using? STP? RSTP? MSTP? PVSTP? If you don’t know, just tell us what kind of switch(es) are involved. Lastly, what does your PBX have to do with any of this? -Adam Thompson <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] From: Austin G. Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 13:09 To: [email protected] Subject: [pfSense Support] STP on Redundant Transparent Firewalls Greetings- We have 2 pfsense machines that are bridged on different vlans operating as a transparent firewall. These machines are setup for CARP replication to each other, which is verified functioning. However, for somereason, the STP is not quite functioning on the secondary PBX. We have to keep one of the interfaces down, or we get in a loop situation. Has anyone experienced this behavior that can advise a work around? What are we missing here?
