DDNS Section

This section is intended to describe the use and settings of DDNS functionality:

DDNS

indeed allows for the external and dynamic updating of a specified zone

by other hosts or processes. The router can send a record update to the appro-

priate DNS server based on a DHCP client's NetBIOS name. The update occurs

after the IP address lease is negotiated and is removed when the lease expires.

By selecting

DDNS

menu item (see

Figure 1 ), it will be possible to map a static

Domain Name to a dynamic IP address. To get advantage of this feature, it is

necessary to get an account, a password and a static domain name from a

DDNS

Service

Provider

(this

router

supports

DDNS

services

from

www.dyndns.org

and

www.tzo.com

).
