may use its static IP address or the management IP address of the VRRP group,

 

depending on whether or not the backup has become the master.

Active - This interface is the master interface in the virtual router.

Fault - This VRRP group is not functioning in the virtual router right now. For

 

example, this might happen if the interface is down.

To add a VRRP group, click the Add icon at the top of the column. The VRRP

Link Monitoring

Enable link monitoring to have the master ZyWALL shut down all of its VRRP

 

interfaces if one of its VRRP interface links goes down. This way the backup

 

ZyWALL takes over all of the master ZyWALL’s functions.
