Carp failover time

Hi,

What is the average time for the carp failover to kick in... i.e. how
much time does it take for the "backup" to become "master" and start
serving requests and vice versa? Is the timing parameter configurable?
I have both the WAN and LAN gw as carp ip.

So only a minor glitch in the updater.

Thanks,

NAT Exempt

I have an internal (LAN) IP address of 10.2.67.11 and an external (WAN) IP of 10.2.66.15

What is the best way to ensure that I do not NAT packets from 10.2.66.15 to 10.2.67.11 but still retaining a firewall

Is there a "How to" of how I would achieve this

I am running PFSense RC2 (latest update)

I as a human have never been faster then the failover, meaning that I 
immediately refreshed the CARP status screen after pulling a cable and 
that it was already showing master. It is at least within a second.

Kind regards,

Re: Carp failover time

 I think we're discussing timeouts related to OSI levels 2 or 3. A 
 physical disconnect is of course immediate, but i think other factors 
 should be considered, like watchdog style errors, ping timeouts, and 
 transport layer failures.
 I hope we can document points of failure and expected delays for each.

 best,

Immediate if it's expected (i.e. you reboot the master), 1-2 seconds
by default if it's not (such as yanking the power plug or any other
failure to communicate by the master).

Yes, search advskew and advbase.

RC3 nano image and soekris

hail,

I'm trying to install RC3 on a soekris board, but after doing the dd on
the disk I get this:

uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense0
ROOT MOUNT ERROR:
If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from
the loader prompt:

     set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw

and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab.

Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/pfsense0
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro,sync,noatime

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
                       eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0
                       This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 /

  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input

mountroot>

I tried rebooting and once I got to pass it and got failure on php (it
said about ad0 read error, but I changed the disk and still got same error
again).

I'm just supposed to dd it and try, right ?

thanks,

matheus
