Dynamic DNS

If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and

have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS).

However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do not know

in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you

can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to their IP address, and

forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.

The router contains a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. To use this

feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have

configured your account information in the router and your ISP-assigned IP address

changes, your router automatically contacts your Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to

your account, and registers your new IP address.

WARNING:

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x

or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service does not work because

private addresses are not routed on the Internet.



To configure Dynamic DNS:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > Dynamic DNS

.

3.

Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs appear in

the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account.

For example, for dyndns.org, visit www.dyndns.org.

4.

Select the

Use a Dynamic DNS Service

check box.

5.

Select the URL of your Dynamic DNS service provider.

6.

Fill in the Host Name, User Name, and Password fields.

The Dynamic DNS service provider might call the host name a domain name. If your URL

is myName.dyndns.org, your host name is myName. The password can be a key for your

Dynamic DNS account.

Static Routes

Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances,

the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access,

and you do not need to configure more static routes. You have to configure static routes only

for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.

Static Route Example

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

•

Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.

•

You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where

you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.

•

Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.

When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route

was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local

network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a

device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP

forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to

be denied by the company’s firewall.

In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be

accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.

In this example:

•

The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route

applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.

•

The Gateway IP Address fields specify that all traffic for these addresses should be

forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.

•

In the Metric field, a value of 1 works since the ISDN router is on the LAN.

This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination.

This connection is a direct connection, so it is set to 1.

•

Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.



To configure static routes:

1.

Fill in or change the fields:

•

Route Name

.

The route name is for identification purposes only.

•

Private

. Select this check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static

route is not reported in RIP.

•

Active

. Select this check box to make this route effective.

•

Destination IP Address

and

IP Subnet Mask

. If the destination is a single host, type

a subnet value of

255.255.255.255

.

•

Gateway IP Address

. This value must be a router on the same LAN segment as the

router.

•

Metric

. Type a number from 2 through 15. This range represents the number of

routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works,

but if this connection is a direct connection, set it to 2.
