Using advanced features

By selecting the member in the table, the following actions can be performed:

Edit - This action allows the member to be edited.

Update - This action allows the selected member configuration to be updated. If you suspect that a passive member does not have the most current configuration for the HA group, use the Update button to update the passive member’s configuration. Using Update revises the configuration on the passive member to match the active member’s index number.

Active - This action allows a passive member to become active. A trap is generated when there is a change in status in the HA group. VPNmanager is notified through the trap that a change in status has occurred and updates the Member table accordingly.

Delete - This action allows the member to be deleted from the HA group. VPNmanager notifies the member that it is no longer part of the HA group.

Add - This action allows a new member to be added to the HA group. The minimum configuration of a new member is the public and private IP addresses. By default, the primary IP address is used as the management address when communicating to the member.
