CARP

[Lexus45]

Hello all.

I'm reading the documentation about CARP and can not understand why the theory and the examples differ.

Here is written about the shared virtual IP addres:

... This address does not have to be in the same subnet as the IP address on the physical interface (if present)...

But here in the examples we see that carp devices have the IP addresses from the same subnets as corresponding physical devices.
