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.
