Dell N1524 + CARP support

The Dell N1524 switch does not support the CARP (Common Address Redundancy Protocol) protocol. CARP is a protocol used for implementing automatic failover and redundancy in network setups, typically used in conjunction with virtual IP addresses. The N1524 switch supports a variety of other protocols, including STP, RSTP, MSTP, and VRRP, which can be used to provide some level of network redundancy and failover. However, if CARP is a requirement for your specific use case, you may need to look into other switch options that support this protocol.

What other models support CARP?

Hello I'm afraid Dell switches does not support for CARP Protocol.  Please refer the links below for more information.

But, if the N1524 supports VRRP and, CARP is practically a VRRP, why doesn't this switch support CARP traffic?

Searching the Internet I couldn't find anything about it. Nowadays many use pfsense as a firewall appliance and use it also in HA mode.

How does Dell not have anything about this?

Do you know anyone who can give us this information?

Hello,

sorry I cannot answer to why our products don't support CARP, I don't go into the choices that are made.
