FreeBSD 10: Problems configuring CARP

G

gimpel

As a first test of carp(4) I manually create an alias:
ifconfig bce0 10.0.8.23 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias vhid 2

giving

Code: 
inet 10.0.8.23 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.8.255 vhid 2
  ...
  carp: MASTER vhid 2 advbase 1 advskew 0

Pinging the CARP address I only get responses when pinging from the local machine. Otherwise there is no response.

Thanks in advance.
 
From ifconfig:
Code: 
inet 10.0.8.55 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.8.255

If it's a VM you may need to allow promiscuous mode in the interface settings.
Although using the bce driver doesn't really suggest a virtual network interface.
 
Below the interface configuration, promiscuous mode seems activated(?)

Code: 
bce0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
  options=c01bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE>

tcpdump works.
