Configure dynamic DNS

This section describes how to configure dynamic DNS.

Use the command:

enable ddns

Depending on the kind of DynDNS.com host you have (see

“DynDNS.com hostnames” on

page 2

), use one of the commands:

set ddns dynamichost=your-hostname.dyndns-domain

or

set ddns statichost=your-hostname.dyndns-domain

or

set ddns customhost=your-hostname.your-domain

Note that the dynamic DNS client only supports one type of hostname at a time, but
supports multiple hostnames of that type. If you have multiple hostnames, specify them as a
comma-separated list. For example:

set ddns dynamichost=myhost1.dyndns.org,myhost2.dnsalias.org

Specify the interface that the WAN link uses.

For the primary ADSL link, use the command:

set ddns primaryinterface=ppp0

If you also have the backup ISDN link, also use the command:

set ddns secondaryinterface=ppp1

Note that the dynamic DNS client only supports one active WAN interface at a time.
