Turn the NXC’s device HA feature on or off.
Note: It is not recommended to use STP (Spanning Tree Protocol)
with device HA.
Device HA

This displays active-passive mode by default. Legacy mode device HA is
not supported by the NXC.
The master and its backups must all use the same device HA mode.
Monitored
Interface
Summary
This table shows the status of the interfaces that you selected for
monitoring in the other device HA screens.

This is the entry’s index number in the list.
Interface
These are the names of the interfaces that are monitored by device HA.
Virtual Router
IP / Netmask
This is the interface’s IP address and subnet mask. Whichever NXC is the
master uses this virtual router IP address and subnet mask.
Management
IP / Netmask
This field displays the interface’s management IP address and subnet
mask. You can use this IP address and subnet mask to access the NXC
whether it is in master or backup mode.
Link Status
This tells whether the monitored interface’s connection is down or up.
