6 Barracuda Link Balancer Administrator’s Guide
Local Network Services
The Barracuda Link Balancer includes the following local network services:
• DHCP server - The Barracuda Link Balancer can automatically provision client IP addresses
using the DHCP protocol. Along with defining traditional DHCP options, administrators may
view active leases in real time.
• DNS caching server - The Barracuda Link Balancer caches responses to DNS queries so that
repetitive DNS requests are served quickly and locally.
Reporting
A variety of trend and activity reports for the WAN links, VPNs and other system components can be
generated on-demand or scheduled. Reporting is only available on models 330 and above.
Web User Interface
The Barracuda Link Balancer configuration can be administered through an SSL-secured Web user
interface. Access can be through the LAN or, if configured, any of the WAN interfaces. The Web user
interface can also be used for viewing traffic statistics, monitoring the health of network components
and doing troubleshooting.
