CARP interface at FreeBSD 9.0

[Vagner]

Hi guys! I need your help. I'm trying to set up a CARP interface on my server. All is fine, but if I set up settings in rc.conf, I get an error:

ifconfig: (SIOCAIFADDR): can't assign requested address

I understand that this is due to the fact that at the time when the interface has to assign an address, it does not already exist. But I didn't understand why. My settings in rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="carp0"
ifconfig_carp0="vhid 1 pass coolpass 10.0.0.10/28 advskew 1 advbase 1"

You need to have an IP in some other interface on the same server, with a mask that includes the one you are trying to use on CARP.

You need to have an ip in some other interfaced on the same server, with a mask that includes the one you are trying to use on carp

Sorry, full config rc.conf:

hostname="srv1"
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"    # Real iface
cloned_interfaces="carp0"
ifconfig_carp0="vhid 1 pass coolpass 10.0.0.10/28 advskew 1 advbase 1"  # loopback iface
sshd_enable="YES"

Thanks! My rc.conf file included

ifconfig_em0="DHCP"

but CARP needs static IP to work

Sorry. I'll take this into account at the future.
PS. I made a mistake in the choice of thread. You could move it into "Networking" tread?
