Barracuda Networks Spyware Firewall Quick Start Manual

The Barracuda Spyware Firewall is a network gateway appliance that is installed between
your internal network and the Internet, to perform content filtering, stop spyware and virus
downloads, block inbound and outbound access to known spyware Web sites, filter
offensive content, and detect spyware accessing the Internet. The Barracuda Spyware
Firewall can also notify you of the presence of spyware on computers in your network. It
will provide comprehensive protection of your web surfing.
Getting Started
This guide provides you with setup instructions for the Barracuda Spyware
Firewall. We recommend reading these instructions fully before starting the
setup. To begin setting up your Barracuda Spyware Firewall, you will need the
following:
•
Barracuda Spyware Firewall
•
AC Power Cord
•
Ethernet Cables

Mounting Rails (model 610/810 only)

Physical Installation
To install the Barracuda Spyware Firewall:
1. Fasten the Barracuda Spyware Firewall to a 19-inch rack or place it in a
stable location.
2. Connect an Ethernet Cable from your network switch to the LAN ethernet
port on the front panel of the Barracuda Spyware Firewall. The WAN port
will be used after the basic configuration is complete.
3. Connect a Standard VGA Monitor, PS2 Keyboard, and AC power cord to the
unit. Note: Immediately after connecting an AC Power Cord to the unit, it
may power ON for a few seconds and then power OFF. This is because
the unit is designed to automatically return to a powered ON state in the
event of a power outage.
4. Press the POWER button on the front panel to turn the unit on.
