4.4.7 DDNS Services
Figure 39 - DDNS Client Configuration
The Z Series SkyRouter provides three levels of network management services based on dynamic domain name service
(DDNS) as well as standard RFC based DNS over UDP. EW/UDP is Ctek’s standard DDNS service and is available on
every SkyRouter. It provided domain name resolution using the EW/UDP protocol developed by Ctek. Two additional
value added DDNS services are available from Ctek as installable applications. They are Visual DDNS (VDDNS) and
Visual Dynamic Domain Name Service with Network Management (VDDNS/NM).
VDDNS (Visual DDNS) enhances standard DDNS by displaying the specified end-points on a mapping application. Pins
displayed for each endpoint are color coded to reflect the system and/or application status of that unit at any point in time.
Hovering over an indicator pin with a mouse provides additional detail and clicking on the pin will redirect the user’s
browser to the login screen on that specific endpoint.
VDDNS/NM – This network management extension to VDDNS gathers network, platform, and application data and stores
it in a cloud-based environment. The information retained is valuable for trend analysis, troubleshooting persistent
problems, and evaluating the overall health of a network.
