Hello,
I am currently testing CARP with my PC and a laptop. My PC has two Ethernet ports so that is not the problem.
The problem is my laptop, it has no Ethernet port. So that I can use an Ethernet cable I set the laptop up with two USB to Ethernet port adapters, from wirezoll on amazon (a random adapter).
When testing CARP my PC takes its Master role as intended but both ports on the laptop stay in the CARP INIT phase instead of the intended CARP Backup. I ping from laptop to PC and I can ping from PC to laptop. I am not sure what the issue is.
Is there something in the Kernel I need to add?
I tried loading the usb to ethernet adapters into Kernel that I saw in the handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-usb-tethering.html) but I received a message of "kldload: can't load if_cdce: module already loaded or in kernel"
I also added if_cdce_load="YES" into /boot/loader.conf as a precaution. It still does not work.
Am I missing a step? Or CARP does not work with USB to Ethernet adapters?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
