If the Barracuda Backup Server is not able to connect to the Internet using the assigned address, it will
switch to Smart-mode. When in Smart-mode, the Barracuda Backup Server discovers an unused IP
address in its subnet and uses that address. This is intended to be a temporary measure of establishing
network connectivity. Once the connectivity issue is resolved, the DHCP/Static field should be
changed to DHCP or static IP address using the console administration interface.
The LAN and Internet boxes on the console administration interface will be green when the Barracuda
Backup Server is determined to be online. The Barracuda box will remain red until it is linked to an
account later in the installation process.
