Description

We have previously seen this on VMs when run as HA.

When the on-board switch is segregated using VLANs to provide more interfaces those interfaces do not function as expected in an HA setup. pfSense 'sees' only the internal interface connected to the switch which always remains up. That means in the event of a port or cable failure the primary will not demote itself and instead just that interface will become master on the secondary with the chaos that brings.
