Hello everyone,
I've succeeded in configuring Link Aggregation together with CARP. The type of aggregation I use is LACP. It makes load balancing between two interfaces combined into lagg interface:
The issue is that when I plug a network cable off em1, the IP 192.168.0.1 remains accessible which is correct. However, the CARP IP 192.168.0.3 changes its state to BACKUP:
I believe this is due to the following sysctl option:
The question is how to keep the state MASTER if one interface in pair goes down?
And change it to BACKUP only if both em0 and em1 interfaces are down.

The question is how to keep the state MASTER if one interface in pair goes down?
And change it to BACKUP only if both em0 and em1 interfaces are down.
