Hello everyone,
for HA of some services I'm trying to setup two pfSense-Firewalls on two different Hosts
which are connected via a vRack at OVH.
The network is configured on top of OpenVSwitch with several VLANs which are working great between the cluster-nodes, except for the CARP of the firewalls.
When both firewalls are on the same host everything works as expected.
Back in 2013 there was an issue in OVS with CARP. (Mail-Archive)
Is this maybe a regression?
Also there are a lots of dropped tx - packets on vmbr1, which is the one the vms connect to:
ovs-dpctl show -s
	
	
	
		
That's why tried with enabling of bpdu-frames over the ovs-switch, but no success.
	
	
	
		
To all pfSense and OVS - experts out here - please help
Any hints or suggestions are deeply appreciated!
Below the network-config and pve-version.
/etc/network/interfaces
	
	
	
		
pveversion -v
