$ sudo ifconfig carp0 192.0.2.19 carpdev sis0 vhid 1
$ sudo ifconfig carp1 192.168.1.1 carpdev sis1 vhid 2

NOTE: On OpenBSD 5.7 onwards, explicit carpdev is required

the master announces every (1 + 0/256) seconds

the backup announces every (1 + 100/256) seconds

Note Multicast by default. Use carppeer option for unicast. It' also possible to set the MAC address explicitly with the lladdr option.
