Bug #14586
closed
Adding an IP Alias VIP using a unicast CARP VIP as its parent changes the CARP VIP to multicast at the OS level
0%
Description
Adding IP Alias to a unicast CARP VIP results in the CARP VIP being reconfigured to multicast. Reapplying (i.e. saving) the unicast CARP VIP sets it back to unicast, however, whenever the IP Alias is saved or the instance is rebooted, the associated unicast CARP VIP becomse multicast again.
This breaks unicast CARP.
A bug exists in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc function interface_ipalias_configure() in that it does not check for ucast/mcast as interface_carp_configure() does. The resultant command executed (e.g ifconfig mce0 inet 172.20.0.76/26 alias vhid 70) is missing the "peer" statement, this causes a change in the underlying CARP VIP configuration.
The attached patch rectified this by adding a ucast/mcast check and a "peer <address>" or "mcast" statement.

I've tested against:
23.05.1-RELEASE (amd64) built on Wed Jun 28 03:57:27 UTC 2023 FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT
I couldn't reproduce the reported issue. Making an Alias on top of an existing CARP VIP, which has a unicast option checked, doesn't change the CARP Mode of the parent CARP VIP. Rebooting the firewall didn't change the CARP mode on the parent CARP VIP.

Interesting, I'm definitely seeing this on 23.05.1 (just noticed I selected the wrong version in the bug - I'll fix that). I'll check again and gather a bit more info.
Could this be related to the underlying NIC type?

That VIP is back to mcast and the other (VHID 80) is still ucast.
The UI always shows that the VIP is set to unicast, but the NIC is definitely not configured unicast when Aliases are in play.

- Status changed from New to Confirmed
Ok, that was my bad. I've checked only the GUI status. After checking the ifconfig output, I realized that it reverts the parent CARP VIP to the multicast as initially reported. I'll mark this report as confirmed.
Updated by Reid Linnemann 9 months ago
I've got a similar patch incoming, and this should be included in the System Patches as well I think.
Updated by Jim Pingle 9 months ago
- Subject changed from Adding IP Alias to unicast CARP VIP "undoes" unicast reverting to multicast to Adding an IP Alias VIP using a unicast CARP VIP as its parent changes the CARP VIP to multicast at the OS level
Updating subject for release notes.

I'm happy to test the fix in my environment if you'd like; I'd just need a diff/patch to apply if the official fix is materially different to the one I attached.

Thanks Reid.
Unfortunately, this seems to only be a partial fix (for me at least) - it does not work at bootup. I applied the patch to my two 23.05.1 instance and rebooted the primary. I then see this after boot up:

So, WAN is ok, but LAN is back at being mcast.
The issue seems to be $vip['carp_mode'] 'ucast' isn't "correct" during boot, where as $carpvip['carp_mode'] 'ucast' is (I've not dug further into the code to understand why).

Oh shoot, I apologize. I created the patch from a previous aborted MR, which I had closed before I saw and corrected that copy/paste error. I'll remove the bad patch for posterity. Your current patch reflects the actual change that went into the codebase.
