Redundancy – IP Redundancy

This window shows the redundancy configuration of the backup device. It defines the interfaces of this device and the associated interfaces of the main device which is backed-up. When the backup device detects a failure at the main device interfaces, the backup will take over.

The window lists the following parameters:

Interface IP Address – The IP address of the backup interface.
Main Router Address – The IP address of the interface on the main FireProof, which this FireProof is backing up.
Operating Status – The redundancy status:
- Active – The backup FireProof is now active on this interface.
- Inactive – The backup FireProof is not active.
Poll Interval – The polling interval for the main FireProof interfaces, in seconds. If the interval is 0, the FireProof is not polled.
Time Out – The interval, in seconds, during which the FireProof must respond. If the main FireProof does not respond within this interval, it is considered inoperative. If Time Out is 0, the backup FireProof ignores the row.
