Specifications

Set the Administrative Options

To set the Administrative Options:

1. Select Basic  Administration.

2. Assign a new administration password to the Barracuda SSL VPN. You cannot change the

password for the Administrative Console, but this is only accessible via the keyboard which you

can disconnect at any time.

3. Set the local time zone. The time on the Barracuda SSL VPN is automatically updated via NTP

(Network Time Protocol), which requires port 123 to be opened for outbound UDP traffic on the

firewall.

4. Click Save Changes.

Update the System Firmware

Prior to upgrading the firmware on your Barracuda SSL VPN, it is always recommended that you

read the release notes.

To upgrade the firmware on the Barracuda SSL VPN:

1. Select Advanced > Firmware Update.

2. Click Download Now and then OK on the download duration window.

Updating the firmware may take several minutes. Do not turn off the unit during this process. If

the system has the latest firmware version downloaded, the Download Now button is disabled.

3. To see the download progress, click the Refresh button that appears next to the completion

percentage. Once the download has finished, that button will turn into an Apply Now button.

4. Click Apply Now to activate the newly-downloaded firmware. This process will automatically

reboot your system when completed, which can cause your Web interface to disconnect

momentarily. This is normal and expected behavior, so there is no need to perform a manual

reboot. The Web interface should come back up again within 5 minutes, at which point you will

need to log in again.

5. Log back into the Appliance Administrator Web interface again and read the Release Notes to

learn about enhancements and new features. It is also good practice to verify settings you may

have already entered, as new features may have been included with the firmware update.

Product Activation

Verify that the Energize Updates feature is activated on your Barracuda by going to the Basic >

Status page.

1. Under Subscription Status, make sure the Energize Updates subscription is Current. If the

Energize Updates is Not Activated, click the corresponding activation link to go to the

Barracuda Networks Product Activation page and complete activation of your subscriptions.

2. Reboot your Barracuda SSL VPN.
