15.3 DynDNS Client
The use of dynamic IP addresses has the disadvantage that a host in the network can no
longer be found once its IP address has changed. DynDNS ensures that your device can
still be reached after a change to the IP address.
The following configuration steps are necessary:
• Registration of a host name at a DynDNS provider
• Configuration of your device
Registration
The registration of a host name means that you define an individual user name for the
DynDNS service, e.g.
"K
. The service providers offer various domain names
for this, so that a unique host name results for your device , e.g.
"K14"
. The DynDNS provider relieves you of the task of answer-
ing all DNS requests concerning the host
"K14"
with the dynam-
ic IP address of your device.
To ensure that the provider always knows the current IP address of your device, your
device contacts the provider when setting up a new connection and propagates its
present IP address.
