password to a more secure password. You can only change the administrator
password for the Web interface. You cannot change the password for the
Administrative Console, but this is only accessible via the keyboard which you
can disconnect at any time.

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.
Inline Connection of Ethernet
The Barracuda is now ready for testing. You should disconnect the ethernet
cable that goes between your standard firewall and your internal network switch,
and connect this to the WAN port on the front panel of the Barracuda Spyware
Firewall. You should then connect the cable from the LAN port of the Barracuda
Spyware Firewall to the internal router, hub, or switch that your firewall used to
connect to (see diagram). Once this is complete return to the
Pass Through
Management
tab and set the unit to
Active
.
Test Connectivity
You should verify network connectivity by utilizing a machine in your existing
network to browse the Web. Once successful connectivity has been verified,
you may adjust the settings within the Barracuda Spyware Firewall to better suit
your needs. Your Barracuda Spyware Firewall is now ready to use.
