Barracuda CloudGen Firewall

Subscriptions

  • Last updated on

In addition to the base license, you can add the following subscriptions to use your firewall to its fullest extent:

Barracuda Energize Updates

This license is mandatory for every CloudGen Firewall for the first year. The following features are included with Barracuda Energize Updates:

Basic Support

Includes email support 24x7 and phone support between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in the US (Pacific Time), Japan, China, Austria, and the United Kingdom time zones.

Firmware Maintenance

Includes new firmware updates with feature enhancements, bug fixes, and pattern updates for:

  • Application Control
  • IPS/IDS engine
  • SSL VPN template updates
  • File Content definition updates
SD-WAN

SD-WAN provides multi-path VPN tunnels across all providers, thereby offering redundant, reliable, and failsafe network connections. When the VPN tunnel is up, it can transmit traffic as long as at least one ISP link is operational. Admins can retain full control over how each link is used, or they can configure the advanced balancing and bandwidth management features to optimally use the available bandwidth. SD-WAN combines a multi-transport VPN tunnel with the following advanced VPN routing, balancing, and shaping features:

  • Dynamic Bandwidth and Round Trip Time (RTT) Detection
  • Performance-Based Transport Selection
  • Adaptive Bandwidth Protection
  • Adaptive and Static Session Balancing
  • Failover Support
  • Multi-Provider Load Balancing
VPN Forward Error Correction (FEC)

Forward Error Correction is a method of correcting data transmission errors that occur over noisy communication lines, thereby improving data reliability without requiring retransmission.

Advanced Threat Protection

Enables ATP. Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) offers protection against advanced malware, zero-day exploits, and other targeted attacks beyond virus pattern detection. A malware subscription license is required. The number of files you can upload per hour and per month is limited, depending on your firewall model. The number of files scanned is counted in the Barracuda ATP Cloud. If the local counter on your Firewall is reset by reinstalling the system, the local counter will be out-of-sync for the rest of the month. Limits still apply.

  1. All cloud licenses include NAC&SSLVPN (former Basic Remote Access subscription).
  2. NAC&SSLVPN is part of the Advanced Remote Access subscription (ARA).
  3. PAYG licenses include Advanced Remote Access.
  4. PAYG licenses cannot be enhanced with add-on subscriptions (Malware, ATP).

Add-on subscriptions are termed licenses and are valid from the time purchased until the expiration date is reached. When entering the license token, Barracuda Firewall Admin automatically downloads the purchased license file from Barracuda Networks and installs the subscriptions on the Barracuda Firewall Control Center. As soon as a firewall gets registered via token or connects as a physical unit, the firewall queries the license files from the Barracuda Networks server. All add-on subscriptions need at least an active Base and Energize Updates subscription to work properly.

Start date and lifetime (subscription period) of a license are defined when you order the license. If you register a unit after the expiration date, the license will show up as expired.

Only active subscriptions guarantee the functionality of the subscribed add-on features. Before exceeding the expiration date, licenses must be renewed in order to guarantee the functionality of the purchased add-on features. For more information, see Validity.
