How to Configure IoT Devices in Barracuda SecureEdge

The Barracuda SecureEdge Manager allows administrators to enroll IoT devices, such as the Secure Connector, with the cloud service. The Barracuda Secure Connector is a hardware device that allows you to connect remote appliances and micro-networks to the corporate data center via VPN. To integrate Secure Connector appliances in your Barracuda SecureEdge environment, you must create a basic configuration for each IoT appliance.
