39.4Configuring an Active-Passive Mode Monitored Interface

The Device HA Active-Passive Mode Monitored Interface Edit screen lets you enable or disable monitoring of an interface and set the interface’s management IP address and subnet mask. To access this screen, click Configuration > Device HA > Active-Passive Mode > Edit.

If you configure device HA settings for an Ethernet interface and later add the Ethernet interface to a bridge, the ZyWALL retains the interface’s device HA settings and uses them again if you later remove the interface from the bridge. If the bridge is later deleted or the interface is removed from it, Device HA will recover the interface’s setting.
