To set a new IP address from the administrative console:
1. Connect your keyboard and monitor directly to the Barracuda Web Filter.
2. At the barracuda login prompt, enter admin for the login and admin for the password.
The User Confirmation Requested window displays the current IP configuration of the
Barracuda Web Filter.
3. Using your Tab key, select Change and click Enter to change the IP configuration.
4. Enter the new IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway IP address for your Barracuda Web
Filter. Select Save
to enter your changes. The Primary DNS and Secondary DNS files are
optional. Select
Exit.
The new IP address and network settings are applied to your Barracuda Web Filter.
Step 4. Configure your corporate firewall
If your Barracuda Web Filter is located behind a corporate firewall, refer to Table 2.1 for the ports
that need to be opened on your corporate firewall to allow communication between the Barracuda
Web Filter and remote servers.
In addition to the ports listed above, you may have to configure your corporate firewall to allow the
Barracuda Web Filter to email system alerts and reports. Some organizations create firewall rules that
only allow emails to be sent from the IP address of their email server. In this case, you should
configure your corporate firewall to allow emails to be sent from the Barracuda Web Filter as well.
If your Barracuda Web Filter is located in a DMZ, you may need to configure your corporate firewall
to allow the Barracuda Web Filter to send notifications to your internal email server.
Step 5. Configure the Barracuda Web Filter
After specifying the IP address of the Barracuda Web Filter and opening the necessary ports on your
corporate firewall, configure the Barracuda Web Filter from the administration interface. Make sure
the client’s computer that you configured the Barracuda Web Filter for is connected to the same
network and that the appropriate routing is in place to allow connection to the Barracuda Web Filter’s
IP address via a Web browser.
