The hardware specifications list was valid at the time this manual was published. The listed components are subject to change at any time, as Barracuda Networks may change hardware components due to technological advancements. Therefore, the list may not reflect the current hardware configuration of the Barracuda Networks CloudGen Firewall or Control Center appliance it was delivered with.

Known Issues

The system recovery will not work correctly with firmware 9.0.3. [BNNGF-95642]
After shutting down the appliances with the command ‘shutdown -h’, the display will stay on and the fans continue running. As a workaround, physically disconnect the appliance from the power supply. [BNNGF-95643]
LED and buzzer do not function during the installation process.

LEDs and Acoustic Signals

Your appliance is equipped with a variety of LEDs. One of them is the Status LED. It is labeled either with a heart symbol or the term 'Status'. It indicates the appliance’s operational state by changing colors between green and red and by changing between blinking and steady glowing. The tables below show the different meanings of the different glowing states and acoustic signals:

LED Color	Status	Meaning Installation	Meaning Operation
All LEDs Off	Off	Appliance is powered off or installation has not initialized far enough for LED control when installation is started.	Appliance is powered off.
Power LED front side - GREEN	Steady	Installation was completed successfully, appliance is halted for reboot or installation was not yet initialized far enough for LED control.	Appliance is plugged in and is on.
Status LED front side - GREEN/RED	Off	Installation has not initialized far enough for LED control when installation is started.	-
Status LED front side - GREEN	Steady	Installation was completed successfully, appliance is halted for reboot.	Appliance is up and running.
Status LED front side - GREEN	Blinking	Normal installation.	Appliance is either booting, shutting down, or performing a system update.
Status LED front side - RED	Steady	-	Appliance is halted and may be disconnected.
Status LED front side - RED	Blinking	Error during installation.	An error has appeared preventing the appliance from entering the up state.
Status LED front side - RED/GREEN	Steady	-	Appliance is in ART mode.
Disc LED front side - YELLOW	Blinking	Appliance is reading or writing on storage.	Appliance is accessing the internal storage.
Port LEDs - GREEN/YELLOW	Left blinking	Data transfer – Yellow (10/100 Mbps)	Port in use.
Port LEDs - GREEN/YELLOW	Right steady	-	Port is on.
PSU LEDs - GREEN	Steady	PSU modules connected and running	Power supply unit is up and running.
PSU LEDs - GREEN	Off	Power defective, standby, or shutdown	Power supply unit is off or in standby mode.

Acoustic Signal	Frequency	Meaning Installation
Beep	1 time	Unit starts booting
Beep	3 times	Installation is completed successfully and appliance is halted for reboot. After reboot, one beep indicates booting.

Not all appliances support yellow and/or red LED colors. Depending on the appliance type, the status LED might be on by default and it might take some time during boot and installation to start either blinking or changing the color. Furthermore, the status LED might blink at different frequencies.

Serial Console Port

In order to establish a console connection to the appliance using a serial cable (Revision A: DB9, Revision B: RJ45), you need to configure the serial port on the terminal using the following parameters:

Parameter	Value
Baud	19200
Bits	8
Stop bit	1
Parity	None
Handshake	None

LC Display

Navigating

This security appliance features a key pad with four keys and an LCD panel on the left side of the front panel. These may be used to obtain certain information and to perform certain commands directly on the appliance.

Keyboard Button	Command
Left arrow	Navigates back or acts like an Escape key while working in the LCD menu.
Up arrow	Navigates up or increases a value.
Down arrow	Navigates down or decreases a value.
Right arrow	Navigates forth or acts like an Enter key for confirming a configuration step.
OK	Confirm

LCD Display Menu

You may use the LCD display and the keypad to access certain appliance features. Use the up and down keys to navigate through the items of the main menu.

The LCD menu features the following items from top to bottom:

LCD Menu	Meaning
Appliance type, OS version and release number	This is the default display.
IP address and subnet mask	Shows the configured IP address and subnet mask of the appliance.
Time and date	Shows time and date currently configured on the appliance.
Uptime of Barracuda OS	The uptime in days, hours and minutes.
Serial number of the appliance	Unique identifier for the appliance.
Shutdown menu	Enables you to shut down the appliance.
Reboot menu	Enables you to reboot the appliance.
Menu to change the management IP address	Configure the IP address for the management port.
Menu to boot into ART during the next reboot	Enables you to set a flag that will cause the appliance to boot into ART the next time it is rebooted. Once set, this flag can not be deleted through the menu. When rebooted, the appliance will not start Barracuda OS, but ART instead. You may connect to the appliance by using the serial console or by SSH. A managed F-Series Firewall running in ART mode cannot be managed through the Control Center, although it will connect to the Control Center to signal its presence.
