When configuring the group, you first assign a unique IP for the “group address” (this is the alias IP address, that is not configured or bound to any of the member’s physical ETH interfaces).  You then configure the “Member IP Address" this is used for the active ETH interface of the member (each ETH interface must have a unique IP and not the same as the Group IP, or another ETH interface). Example: First you setup the "Group IP": 10.10.1.100 Then you setup the "Member IP" (these are the physical IP address assigned to each active ETH port): ETH0: 10.10.1.101 ETH1: 10.10.1.102 The first time you are asked for a “member IP”, it is for ETH0, and must be different than the group IP address.
