2. Connect an Ethernet Cable from your network switch to the Ethernet port on the back of
the Barracuda SSL VPN.

ON for a few seconds and then power OFF. This is because the Barracuda is designed to

display an alert and the Barracuda SSL VPN will shut down safely when there is an estimated 3
minutes of battery power remaining.
