Deploying Device Ha Pro; Configuring Device Ha Pro - ZyXEL Communications USG40 User Manual

Failover from the active ZyWALL/USG to the passive ZyWALL/USG is activated when:
• A monitored interface is down
• A monitored service (daemon) is down
• The hearbeat link exceeds the failure tolerance.
After failover, the initial active ZyWALL/USG becomes the passive ZyWALL/USG after it recovers.

41.3.1 Deploying Device HA Pro

Register either the active or passive ZyWALL/USG with a Device HA Pro license at MyZyXEL.com.
1
Check that it's properly licensed in Licensing > Registration > Service in the active ZyWALL/
USG.
Make sure the passive ZyWALL/USG is offline, then enable Device HA in Device HA > General in
2
the passive ZyWALL/USG.
Must make sure the FTP port in System > FTP (default 21) is the same on both ZyWALL/USGs. FTP
3
is used for transferring files in the event of failover from active to passive ZyWALL/USG.
Connect the passive ZyWALL/USG to the active ZyWALL/USG using the highest-numbered ports on
4
both ZyWALL/USGs.
Note: If both ZyWALL/USGs are turned on at the same time with Device HA enabled, then
they may send the heartbeat at the same time. In this case, the ZyWALL/USG with
the bigger MAC address becomes the passive ZyWALL/USG.
