Host names assigned by the
netvolante DNS service
When using the netvolante DNS service, you can obtain
a host name in the format of “(Your desired host name).
xxx.netvolante.jp”, where “xxx” is an arbitrary string
automatically assigned by the netvolante DNS server. This
function is convenient because you do not have to change
settings each time the global IP address is changed.
Note
• The netvolante DNS service can be set only for terminal
provider connection. It cannot be set for network connection or
LAN-to-LAN connection. Even for terminal CATV provider
connection, it cannot be set if the IP address is fixed on the
WAN side.
• Only a single host address can be obtained for a unit of router.
• Note that your desired host name is not always available.
• Lookup of the obtained host address is possible, but reverse
lookup is not possible.
• The netvolante DNS service uses a Yamaha original protocol,
and the obtained host address cannot be registered with
external dynamic DNS servers.
• The netvolante DNS service can be used only in an environment
where a global IP address is assigned by a provider. Note that
the following IP addresses are not global IP addresses:
– 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
– 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
– 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
• Depending on the provider you are currently using, the
registered/updated host name settings may not be reflected
on the netvolante DNS service immediately.
