Redundancy – Global Configuration
You can configure more than one FireProof device on a network such that one (the backup device) will back up another (the main device). In this case, a failure of any network interface on the main FireProof will fail the whole device, and the backup device, previously idle, will take over all activity.
- IP Redundancy Admin Status – Enabling this feature allows this device to back up another device.
- Interface Grouping – Enabling this feature allows this device to be backed up by another device.
To enable the backup device:
- From the FireProof menu, point at Redundancy and choose Global Configuration.
The Global Redundancy Configuration window opens.
- In the Global Redundancy Configuration window, ensure that that IP Redundancy Admin Status is enabled.
- Ensure that Interface Grouping is disabled.
- Click

- From the FireProof menu, point at Redundancy and choose Global Configuration.
The Global Redundancy Configuration window opens.
- In the Global Redundancy Configuration window, ensure that that IP Redundancy Admin Status is disabled.
- Ensure that Interface Grouping is enabled.
