Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when
your IP address is not permanently assigned. The firewall contains a client that can connect to
many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address. See
“Configuring
Dynamic DNS” on page 4-11
.

Diagnostic functions
The firewall incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and remote
reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the firewall. You can
