Network Setup > Dynamic DNS
The DDNS Client is used to update the IP address of the modem/router in a DDNS server for the configured
domain name whenever the IP Address changes, thus, leaving the domain name to be pointing to the current IP
Address of the modem/router all the time.
Screen Notes:
•
This screen applies to the RF820/RF820-AP and the RF830/RF830-AP.
•
The RF830/RF830-AP includes a WAN 2 section which is the same as the WAN 1 section.
•
Dynamic DNS Failover is available only on the RF830/RF830-AP.
DDNS Failover (for the RF830/RF830-AP only)
Dynamic DNS Failover
Check the box to enable DDNS failover. This is valid only if both the interfaces, WAN 1 and WAN 2, are
configured with DDNS. When enabled, DDNS updates the IP Address of the failed link with that of the link
that is up. So both the FQDNs (Fully Qualified Domain Name) will be pointing to the same IP Address.
