#

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

This is the master ZyWALL’s (static) IP address and subnet mask for

IP / Netmask

this interface. If a 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

/ Netmask

mask. You can use 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, AV signatures, IDP and application

 

patrol signatures, and system protect signatures.

 

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 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.
