6.3.4 Finish Configuring the Master

Finish configuring the master. The backup router will get these updates later, when it synchronizes with the master.

6.3.5 Set up the Ethernet Interfaces on the Backup

On the backup ZyWALL, ge1 should be configured exactly the same way it is configured on the master, including the same IP address. Therefore, you should not configure the backup while it is connected to the same network as the master, or there will be an IP address conflict.

You do not have to configure any other interfaces, including the one that is connected to the Internet, because the backup will get this configuration when it synchronizes with the master.

6.3.6 Set up the VRRP Groups on the Backup

You should set up the same VRRP groups on the backup that you set up on the master. The only difference is the role. In each VRRP group, select Backup, instead of Master, in the Role field. Therefore, you will also set up the management IP address for the backup. The VRRP group for ge1 is shown below.

Figure 71 Device HA > VRRP Group > Add

Click Status and look at the Interface Status Summary. The H/A Status field is Stand-By, and the IP address is the management IP address 192.168.1.101.
