non-floating IP is a physical IP address on a local device interface
floating IP is a logical IP address on the same network pointing to the active device's interface in HA setup. It's not needed if you have only a standalone unit.
An analogy would be setting up an VRRP or HSRP where you need to assign an IP address to a physical interface before setting up the virtual IP address.
