To avoid unauthorized use, Barracuda Networks recommends that you change the default root password to a more secure password.
•Go to Config >System.
•Within the Root Password section, enter the old (ngf1r3wall) and afterwards the new root password with at least 5 characters.
•Click Send Changes followed by Activate.
Note:
Even if the root password is changed as described here, if the appliance does not have
avalid license, the default root password will still be valid for root login. Please see instructions below for how to install a valid license.
6. Connect ISP
Appliance models F10 to F30x use PORT4 for the ISP by default.
If your ISP assigns the WAN IP address through the DHCP protocol, simply connect the modem to PORT4. This port is pre configured to be used with an ISP using DHCP.
For all other models the network port can be chosen individually and the settings for ISP configuration must be done manually:
•Navigate to: Config > Network > xDSL/ISDN/DHCP.
•Enable one of the available WAN connection types and configure it according to the settings provided by your Internet Service Provider.
•To check if the WAN IP address assignment was successful, navigate to Control > Network.
