Role Select the role that you want the interface to play in the virtual router.
Choices are:
Master - This interface is the master interface in the virtual router. The
interface always uses its virtual IP address when its status is active.
Note: Do not set this field to Master for two or more ZyWALLs in the
same virtual router (same VR ID).
Backup - This interface is a backup interface in the virtual router. The
current role depends on the other ZyWALLs in the virtual router.
Priority This field is available if the selected interface is a Backup interface.
Type the priority of the backup interface. The backup interface with the
highest value takes over the role of the master interface if the master
interface becomes unavailable. The priority must be between 1 and 254.
(The master interface has priority 255.)
Preempt This field is available if the selected interface is a Backup interface.
Select this if the selected interface should become the master interface if
a lower-priority interface is the master when this one is enabled. (If the
role is Master, the interface preempts by default.)
