How to Connect Your Barracuda Networks Appliances to Barracuda Cloud Control

Before a user can connect a Barracuda Networks appliance to Barracuda Cloud Control (BCC), the account administrator must enable Appliance Control under Product Entitlements on the Account > Users page for the selected user.

  • Only users that are account admins can connect appliances to BCC. An account admin has BCC privileges for User Management.

  • Your Barracuda Networks appliance can connect with only one BCC account at a time. Ensure your Barracuda Networks appliance can reach the internet to connect to Barracuda Appliance Control. If you are using Barracuda NextGen Firewall X-Series, use the BASIC > Cloud Control page.

To connect your Barracuda Networks appliances to BCC:

  1. In BCC, select Appliance Control in the left panel. The Appliance Control Management page displays, including a message indicating that no appliances have been connected.

  2. In another browser window, sign in to the product you want to connect to BCC. From the product ADVANCED > Firmware Upgrade page, verify that you have the latest firmware installed. If not, download and install it before proceeding.

  3. From the ADVANCED > Cloud Control page in the product, enter your BCC account admin username and password, click Yes to connect to BCC, and click Save.

Note: Your appliance can connect with only one BCC account at a time. If you are using Barracuda NextGen Firewall X-Series, use the BASIC > Cloud Control page.

  1. In the Barracuda Cloud Control web interface, refresh your browser page. In the navigation tree on the left side of the page, you should see the number

    immediately to the right of the newly connected Barracuda Networks appliance. By default, statistics are presented for that appliance. Click on the appliance link to configure it using the web interface for that appliance.
