Configuring Your Corporate Firewall
If your Barracuda Load Balancer is located behind a corporate firewall, refer to Table 3.1 for the ports
that need to be opened on your corporate firewall to allow communication between the Barracuda
Load Balancer, Virtual IP(s) and remote servers.
The Barracuda Load Balancer must be able to communicate with the mail server over the port
specified on the
Basic > Administration page. This may require opening that port on the firewall.
Additionally, if any of the load-balanced Services require access to a designated port on the Virtual
IP for the Service, the appropriate settings will need to be configured on your corporate firewall.
Examples are load-balanced FTP services over a non-traditional port, or streaming media traffic.
Configuring the Barracuda Load Balancer
After specifying the IP address of the Barracuda Load Balancer and opening the necessary ports on
your corporate firewall, configure the Barracuda Load Balancer from the Web administration
interface. Make sure the system being used to access the Web interface is connected to the same
network as the Barracuda Load Balancer, and that the appropriate routing is in place to allow
connection to the Barracuda Load Balancer’s IP address via a Web browser.
