Reloading, Restarting, and Shutting Down the System
The System Reload/Shutdown section on the Basic > Administration page allows you to shutdown,
restart, and reload system configuration on the Barracuda Link Balancer.
Shutting down the system powers off the unit. Restarting the system reboots the unit. Reloading the
system re-applies the system configuration.
You can also reboot the Barracuda Link Balancer by pressing
RESET on the front panel of the
Barracuda Link Balancer.
Do not press and hold the
RESET button for more than a couple of seconds. Holding it for five seconds
or longer changes the IP address of the system. See Using the Reset Button to Reset the LAN IP
address on page 52 for more information.
Using the Reset Button to Reset the LAN IP address
The Barracuda Link Balancer is assigned a default LAN IP address of 192.168.200.200. You can
change this IP address in one of three ways:
• navigate using the Web user interface to the
Basic > IP Configuration page
• connect a VGA monitor and a keyboard to the back of the Barracuda Link Balancer and using
the Administrative Console (username admin, password admin)
• or press the
RESET button on the front panel.
Pressing RESET for five seconds sets the LAN IP address to 192.168.200.200. Pressing
RESET eight
seconds changes the LAN IP address to 192.168.1.200. Pressing the button for 12 seconds changes
the LAN IP address to 10.1.1.200. You will notice the three LEDs on the front panel flash at the same
time intervals.
Note: To set up the new Barracuda Link Balancer so it has the same configuration as your old
failed system, restore the backup file from the old system onto the new system, and then
manually configure the new system’s IP information on the
Basic > IP Configuration page. For
information on restoring data, refer to Backing up and Restoring Your System Configuration
on page 51.
