5.5.1 Dynamic DNS

PS/2 KVM over IP switch provides a Dynamic DNS service that can be used in the following scenario (see Figure 5.13):

Figure 5.13 Dynamic DNS Scenario

PS/2 KVM over IP switch is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router, which is dynamically assigned by the provider. Since the administrator doesn’t know the IP address assigned by the provider, PS/2 KVM over IP switch connects to a special dynamic DNS server in regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator may contact this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his card.

The administrator has to register a PS/2 KVM over IP switch that is supposed to take part in the service with the Dynamic DNS Server. He will get an approved nickname and password in return to the registration process. This account information is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered PS/2 KVM over IP switch.
