DESCRIPTION
The text before the slash shows whether the device is configured as the
master or the backup role.
This text after the slash displays the monitored interface's status in the
virtual router.
Active - This interface is up and using the virtual IP address and subnet
mask.
Stand-By - This interface is a backup interface in the virtual router. It is
not using the virtual IP address and subnet mask.
Fault - This interface is not functioning in the virtual router right now. In
active-passive mode (or in legacy mode with link monitoring enabled), if
one of the master ZyWALL's interfaces loses its connection, the master
ZyWALL forces all of its interfaces to the fault state so the backup
ZyWALL can take over all of the master ZyWALL's functions.
