Configuring Active-Passive Mode Device Ha; Figure 440 Management Ip Addresses - ZyXEL Communications ZyWALL USG 100 Series User Manual

Enable monitoring for the same interfaces on the master and backup ZyWALLs. Each
monitored interface must have a static IP address and be connected to the same subnet as the
corresponding interface on the backup or master ZyWALL.
Virtual Router and Management IP Addresses
• If a backup takes over for the master, it uses the master's IP addresses. These IP addresses
are know as the virtual router IP addresses.
• Each interface can also have a management IP address. You can connect to this IP address
to manage the ZyWALL regardless of whether it is the master or the backup.
For example, ZyWALL B takes over A's 192.168.1.1 LAN interface IP address. This is a
virtual router IP address. ZyWALL A keeps it's LAN management IP address of 192.168.1.5
and ZyWALL B has its own LAN management IP address of 192.168.1.6. These do not
change when ZyWALL B becomes the master.
