Addressing and Subnet Used for Examples
The Use of a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)
Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) provide connectivity to their customers using dynamic
instead of static IP addressing. This means that a user’s IP address does not remain constant over
time which presents a challenge for gateways attempting to establish VPN connectivity.

A Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service allows a user whose public IP address is dynamically assigned
to be located by a host or domain name. It provides a central public database where information
(such as email addresses, host names and IP addresses) can be stored and retrieved. Now, a
gateway can be configured to use a 3
rd
party service in lieu of a permanent and unchanging IP
address to establish bi-directional VPN connectivity.
To use DDNS, you must register with a DDNS service provider. Example DDNS Service
Providers include:
DynDNS: www.dyndns.org
TZO.com: netgear.tzo.com
ngDDNS: ngddns.iego.net
In this example, Gateway A is configured using an example FQDN provided by a DDNS Service
provider. In this case we established the hostname
dg834g.dyndns.org
for gateway A using the
DynDNS service. Gateway B will use the DDNS Service Provider when establishing a VPN
tunnel.
In order to establish VPN connectivity Gateway A must be configured to use Dynamic DNS, and
Gateway B must be configured to use a DNS hostname to find Gateway A provided by a DDNS
Service Provider. Again, the following step-by-step procedures assume that you have already
registered with a DDNS Service Provider and have the configuration information necessary to set
up the gateways.
Step-By-Step Configuration
1.
Log in to the DG834G labeled Gateway A as in the illustration.
Out of the box, the DG834G is set for its default LAN address of
with its
default user name of
admin
and default password of
password
. For this example we will
assume you have set the local LAN address as 10.5.6.1 for Gateway A and have set your own
password.
2.
Click on the Dynamic DNS link on the left side of the Settings management GUI. This will
take you to the Dynamic DNS Menu.

3.
On the DG834G, configure the Dynamic DNS settings.
a.
Browse to the Dynamic DNS Setup Screen (see
Figure F-6
) in the Advanced menu.

b.
Configure this screen with appropriate account and hostname settings and then click
Apply
.
Check the box

.
Host Name = dg834g.dyndns.org
User Name = <user's account username>
Password = <user's account password>
c.
Click
Show Status
. The resulting screen should show Update OK: good (see

On the FVL328, configure the Dynamic DNS settings. Assume a properly configured
DynDNS account.
a.
Browse to the Dynamic DNS Setup Screen (see
Figure F-8
) in the Advanced menu.

b.
Select the DynDNS.org radio button (see
Figure F-8
), configure with appropriate account
and hostname settings (see
Figure F-9
), and then click
Apply
.
Host and Domain Name = fvl328.dyndns.org
User Name = <user's account username>
Password = <user's account password>
