Configuring Dynamic DNS

The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature
offered by www.dyndns.com which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned
IP addresses via the WAN port. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the
new IP address is sent to the DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the
new IP address.

NOTE

DynDNS supports only the primary WAN IP address.

To configure dynamic DNS for the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point:

1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> DynDNS from the Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR

Access Point menu tree.

2. Select the Enable checkbox to allow domain name information to be updated when the IP

address associated with that domain changes.

A username, password and hostname must be specified for domain name information to be
updated.

NOTE

The username, password and hostname are required to be registered at

http://www.dyndns.com

.

3. Enter the DynDNS Username for the account you wish to use for the access point.
