Black Box LES1216A-R2, LES1332A, LES1408A 1 IPv6 configuration, Dynamic DNS Ddns configuration

3.3.1IPv6 configuration

You can also configure the console server Network and Management LAN Interfaces for IPv6 operation:

On the System: IP menu select General Settings page and check Enable IPv6.

Then, configure the IPv6 parameters on each Interface page.

3.3.2Dynamic DNS (DDNS) configuration

With Dynamic DNS (DDNS) a console server whose IP address is dynamically assigned (and that may change from time to time) can be located using a fixed host or domain name.

The first step in enabling DDNS is to create an account with the supported DDNS service provider of your choice. Supported DDNS providers include:

-DyNS www.dyns.cx

-dyndns.org www.dyndns.org

-GNUDip gnudip.cheapnet.net

-ODS www.ods.org

-TZO www.tzo.com

-3322.org (Chinese provider) www.3322.org

Upon registering with the DDNS service provider, you will select a username and password, as well as a hostname that you will use as the DNS name (to allow external access to your machine using a URL).

The Dynamic DNS service providers allow the user to choose a hostname URL and set an initial IP address to correspond to that hostname URL. Many Dynamic DNS providers offer a selection of URL hostnames available for free use with their service. However, with a paid plan, any URL hostname (including your own registered domain name) can be used.

You can now enable and configure DDNS on any of the Ethernet or cellular network connections on the console server (by default DDNS is disabled on all ports):

Select the DDNS service provider from the drop down Dynamic DNS list on the System:IP or System:Dial menu

In DDNS Hostname enter the fully qualified DNS hostname for your console server e.g. your- hostname.dyndns.org

Enter the DDNS Username and DDNS Password for the DDNS service provider account

Specify the Maximum interval between updates - in days. A DDNS update will be sent even if the address has not changed

Specify the Minimum interval between checks for changed addresses - in seconds. Updates will still only be sent if the address has changed

Specify the Maximum attempts per update i.e. the number of times to attempt an update before giving up (defaults to 3)
