3.3.2 Dynamic DNS
When users connect the IP serial console (IPCS) to a DSL line or use a DHCP configuration, and get a dynamic IP
address from the network, the IP address may not the same as previous. It can therefore be very difficult to
know if an IP address has changed, or what the new IP address is.
A Dynamic DNS service is provided by various ISPs or organizations to deal with the above issue. By using the
Dynamic DNS service, users can access the IPCS through the hostname registered in the Dynamic DNS Server
regardless of any IP address change.
By default, the IPCS only supports Dynamic DNS service offered at Dynamic DNS Network Services, LLC
(www.dyndns.org).
To use the Dynamic DNS service provided by Dynamic DNS Network Services, the user must set up an account.
in their Members’ NIC (Network Information Center - http://members.dyndns.org). The user may then add a
new Dynamic DNS Host link after logging in to their Dynamic DNS Network Services Members NIC.
After enabling the Dynamic DNS service in the Dynamic DNS Configuration menu, the user must enter the
registered Domain Name, User Name, and Password. After applying the configuration change, users can access
the IPCS using only the Domain Name. The DNS (Domain Name Systems) is the internet service that translates
your domain names into IP addresses.
