Carp stuck in INIT

Thanks for the reply

I tried moving the IP address to the beginning of the ifconfig line but it still seems to show the same error on boot and refuses to leave INIT mode. This isn't critical as I'm just playing around with it at the moment.

I'm using virtualbox to test with and a few 10.0-RELEASE vm's I've had kicking around for a while. I might replace them with 10.1-RC2 tomorrow and see if I get the same thing.

You don't need the "up" keyword, and it definitely works with a /30 and a single IP. I use that at work. But the order of options does matter (IP first, CARP stuff second).

Requires FreeBSD 10 and the new CARP code. Might work on pre-10, but I never got it to work.

The following is from our core fibre router:

ifconfig_em0="inet 142.24.243.161/30<http://142.24.243.161/30> vhid 30 pass mypass30 -lro -tso -vlanhwtso"
defaultrouter="142.24.243.162"

The slave box is the same, but with "advskew 128" added after the pass config.
