DESCRIPTION

Enable VRRP

Select this to make the specified interface part of the virtual router. Clear this to

Group

take the specified interface out of the virtual router. Enabling a VRRP group has the

 

ZyWALL monitor the connection of the group’s interface.

 

 

Name

This field is read-only if you are editing the VRRP group. Type the name of the

 

VRRP group. This field must be unique in the ZyWALL, but it is not used in the

 

virtual router. The virtual router uses the VRID. The name can consist of

 

alphanumeric characters, the underscore, and the dash and may be up to fifteen

 

characters long.

 

 

Description

Type the description of the VRRP group. This field is only for your reference. It may

 

be up to sixty printable ASCII characters long.

 

 

Interface Name

Select the interface in this device that is part of the virtual router. You can only

 

select interfaces that have static IP addresses. Connect the interface to the same

 

subnet as the group’s interface on the other ZyWALL.

 

 

Manage IP

Enter the interface’s IP address for management access. You can use this IP

 

address to access the ZyWALL whether it is the master or a backup. This

 

management IP address should be in the same subnet as the interface IP address

 

so the backup ZyWALL cannot synchronize with the master via this VRRP

 

interface.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Enter the subnet mask of the interface’s management IP address.

 

 

Role

Select the role that you want the interface to play in the virtual router. Choices are:

 

Master - This interface is the master interface in the virtual router. The interface

 

always uses its virtual IP address when its status is active.

 

Note: Do not set this field to Master for two or more ZyWALLs in the

 

same virtual router (same VR ID).

 

Backup - This interface is a backup interface in the virtual router. The current role

 

depends on the other ZyWALLs in the virtual router.

 

 

Priority

This field is available if the selected interface is a Backup interface. Type the

 

priority of the backup interface. The backup interface with the highest value takes

 

over the role of the master interface if the master interface becomes unavailable.

 

The priority must be between 1 and 254. (The master interface has priority 255.)
