Registering with the Dynamic DNS Service
The Firebox X Edge gets the IP address of members.dyndns.org when it starts up. It makes sure the IP
address is correct every time it restarts and at an interval of every twenty days. If you make any changes
to your DynDNS configuration on the Edge or if you change the IP address of the default gateway con-
figured for your Edge, it updates DynDNS.com immediately.
WatchGuard is not affiliated with DynDNS.com.
Creating a DynDNS.org account
To set up your account, go to this web site:

Setting up the Firebox X Edge for Dynamic DNS

To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, followed by the
IP address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
2
From the navigation bar, select Network > Dynamic DNS .
The Dynamic DNS client page appears.
3
Select the Enable Dynamic DNS client check box.
4
Type the Domain , Name , and Password in the related fields.
5
In the System drop-down list, select the system to use for this update. The option dyndns sends
updates for a Dynamic DNS host name. Use the dyndns option when you have no control over
your IP address (for example, it is not static, and it changes on a regular basis).
The option
statdns sends updates for a Static DNS host name. A Static DNS host is a dynamically
acquired IP address that does not change (for example, it is associated with a MAC address,
DHCP host ID, or PPPoE static IP address/login).
The option
custom sends updates for a custom DNS host name. This option is frequently used by
businesses that pay to register their domain with dyndns.com .
For an explanation of each option, see:

In the Options field, you can type these options. You can use one option, or use several options
together as shown in the example below:
- mx=mailexchanger& - Specifies a Mail eXchanger for use with the hostname.
