Active-Passive Mode Device HA with Bridge Interfaces
Here are two ways to avoid a broadcast storm when you connect the bridge interfaces on two
ZyWALL/USGs.
First Option for Connecting the Bridge Interfaces on Two ZyWALL/USGs
The first way is to activate Device HA before connecting the bridge interfaces as shown in the
following example.
1 Make sure the bridge interfaces of the master ZyWALL/USG (A) and the backup ZyWALL/USG (B)
are not connected.
2 Configure the bridge interface on the master ZyWALL/USG, set the bridge interface as a monitored
interface, and activate Device HA.
Manage IP Enter the interface’s IP address for management access. You can use this IP address to
access the ZyWALL/USG whether it is the master or a backup. This management IP
address should be in the same subnet as the interface IP address.
Manage IP
Subnet Mask
Enter the subnet mask of the interface’s management IP address.
