Legacy Mode ZyWALL VRRP Application
In VRRP, a virtual router represents a number of ZyWALLs associated with one IP address,
the IP address of the default gateway. Each virtual router is identified by a unique 8-bit
identification number called a Virtual Router ID (VR ID). In the example below, ZyWALL A
and ZyWALL B are part of virtual router 10 with IP address 192.168.10.254.
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.)

punctuation marks (+-/*= :; .! @$&%#~ ‘ \ () ), and it can be up to eight characters
long.
