Dynamic DNS Parameter
Description
Connection
In a single WAN scenario, the connection
parameter appears as static text (non-
configurable). However, if you have multiple WAN
devices, a combo-box appears (refer to the
figure), enabling you to select the connection to
which you would like to couple the DDNS service.
The DDNS service only uses the chosen device,
unless fail-over is enabled. In this case, the failed-
to device will be used instead (assuming its route
rules consent), until the chosen device is up
again.
Provider
Select your DDNS service provider. Currently,
only dyndns.org is supported. Click Here to Initiate
and Manage your Subscription Clicking this link
opens a new browser page in
http://www.dyndns.com/account/.
User Name
Enter your DDNS user name.
Password
Enter your DDNS password.
Host Name
Enter your full DDNS domain name.
Wildcard
Select this check-box to enable use of special
links such as www.<yourhost>.dyndns.org.
Mail Exchanger
Enter your mail exchange server address, to
redirect all e-mails arriving at your DDNS address
to your mail server.
Backup MX
Select this check-box to designate the mail
exchange server to be a backup server.
Offliine
To temporarily take your site offliine (prevent
traffic from reaching your DDNS domain name),
check this box to enable redirection of DNS
requests to an alternative, predefined URL. The
availability of this feature depends on your DDNS
account's level of service. The redirection URL
must be configured through the account as well.
13.19 IP Address Distribution
Your gateway's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server makes it possible to
easily add computers that are configured as DHCP clients to the home network. It provides
a mechanism for allocating IP addresses and delivering network configuration parameters
to such hosts. The gateway's default DHCP server is the LAN bridge.
