DESCRIPTION

Inactivate

To turn off an entry, select it and click Inactivate.

 

 

#

This is the entry’s index number in the list.

 

 

Status

The activate (light bulb) icon is lit when the entry is active and dimmed when the entry is

 

inactive.

 

 

Interface

This field identifies the interface. At the time of writing, Ethernet and bridge interfaces

 

can be included in the active-passive mode virtual router. The member interfaces of any

 

bridge interfaces do not display separately.

 

 

Virtual Router IP /

This is the master ZyWALL’s (static) IP address and subnet mask for this interface. If a

Netmask

backup takes over for the master, it uses this IP address. These fields are blank if the

 

interface is a DHCP client or has no IP settings.

 

 

Management IP /

This field displays the interface’s management IP address and subnet mask. You can use

Netmask

this IP address and subnet mask to access the ZyWALL whether it is in master or backup

 

mode.

 

 

Link Status

This tells whether the monitored interface’s connection is down or up.

 

 

Synchronization

Use synchronization to have a backup ZyWALL copy the master ZyWALL’s configuration,

 

certificates.

 

Every interface’s management IP address must be in the same subnet as the interface’s

 

IP address (the virtual router IP address).

 

 

Server Address

If this ZyWALL is set to backup role, enter the IP address or Fully-Qualified Domain

 

Name (FQDN) of the ZyWALL from which to get updated configuration. Usually, you

 

should enter the IP address or FQDN of a virtual router on a secure network.

 

If this ZyWALL is set to master role, this field displays the ZyWALL’s IP addresses and/or

 

Fully-Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) through which ZyWALLs in backup role can get

 

updated configuration from this ZyWALL.

 

 

Sync. Now

This displays if the ZyWALL is set to use active-passive mode device HA, the ZyWALL is in

 

the backup role and device HA is enabled. Click this to copy the specified ZyWALL’s

 

configuration.

 

 

Server Port

If this ZyWALL is set to the backup role, enter the port number to use for Secure FTP

 

when synchronizing with the specified master ZyWALL.

 

If this ZyWALL is set to master role, this field displays the ZyWALL’s Secure FTP port

 

number. Click the Configure link if you need to change the FTP port number.

 

Every ZyWALL in the virtual router must use the same port number. If the master

 

ZyWALL changes, you have to manually change this port number in the backups.

 

 

Password

Enter the password used for verification during synchronization. Every ZyWALL in the

 

virtual router must use the same password.

 

If you leave this field blank in the master ZyWALL, no backup ZyWALLs can synchronize

 

from it.

 

If you leave this field blank in a backup ZyWALL, it cannot synchronize from the master

 

ZyWALL.

 

 

Retype to Confirm

Type the password again here to confirm it.

 

 

Auto Synchronize

Select this to get the updated configuration automatically from the specified ZyWALL

 

according to the specified Interval. The first synchronization begins after the specified

 

Interval; the ZyWALL does not synchronize immediately.

 

 

Interval

When you select Auto Synchronize, set how often the ZyWALL synchronizes with the

 

master.

 

 

Next Sync Time

This appears the next time and date (in hh:mm yyyy-mm-dd format) the ZyWALL will

 

synchronize with the master.
