Okay, so this is probably a bit special...
I am running two virtual ASG 8.202's in HA (Hot standby) on two ESXi 5.0 hosts.
There are two WAN Uplinks - both "Cable Modem" DHCP.
Due to previous issues on the LAN I have disabled HA MACs.
The two WAN DHCP leases bind to MAC addresses.
So I have spoofed WAN MACs in VMWare - so WAN1 MAC is identical on both ASGs and WAN2 MAC is identical on both ASGs.
The setup worked fine on a combination of ESXi 4.1 and ASG 8.1.
But I have not tested failover since upgrading ASG and ESXi - until now.
When I power down the master, the slave does not bring up the two WAN interfaces,
In the Dashboard WAN1 and WAN2 display as "State=Error" and "Link=Down".
But if I go to "Advanced" -> "Support" -> "Interfaces Table", both interfaces are listed as "up" and seem to have assigned IP-addresses.
If I power on the master, it will become active again and everything will run fine.
If I instead reboot the slave, the interfaces will come up, and everything runs fine.
I am not sure if this is a ESXi 5 issue - or an ASG 8.2 issue?
Maybe something to do with the spoofed MACs?
Any ideas about where to start looking?
Best regards
Martin
