8.8.6. Dynamic DNS
Dynamic domain name resolution (DDNS) is mainly used to achieve resolution between fixed
domain names and dynamic IP addresses. For a user that uses a dynamic IP address, after the user
obtains a new IP address in the Internet access, the dynamic domain name software installed in the
host sends the IP address to the DDNS server provided by the DDNS service provider and updates the
domain name resolution database. When another user on the Internet tries accessing the domain
name, the dynamic domain name resolution server returns the correct IP address.
Choose Network Application > Dynamic DNS and the Dynamic DNS page is displayed.

8.8.7. Static Routes
Static routing is a special type of routing that can be applied in a network to reduce the problem of
routing selection and data flow overload caused by routing selection so as to improve the packets
forwarding speed. You can set the destination IP address, subnet mask, and gateway to specify a
routing rule. The destination IP address and subnet mask determine a destination network or host to
which the router sends packets through the gateway.
