DDNS Type

Select the type of service that you are registered for from your Dynamic DNS

 

service provider.

 

Select Dynamic if you have the Dynamic DNS service.

 

Select Static if you have the Static DNS service.

 

Select Custom if you have the Custom DNS service.

Policy

with the WAN interface's IP address.

 

Select Use User-Definedand enter the IP address if you have a static IP

 

address.

 

Select Let DDNS Server Auto Detect only when there are one or more NAT

 

routers between the ZyWALL and the DDNS server. This feature has the DDNS

 

server automatically detect and use the IP address of the NAT router that has a

 

public IP address.

 

Note: The DDNS server may not be able to detect the proper IP

 

address if there is an HTTP proxy server between the

 

ZyWALL and the DDNS server.

 

 

HA

Select this check box to enable the high availability (HA) feature. High

 

availability has the ZyWALL update a domain name with another interface’s IP

 

address when the normal WAN interface does not have a connection.

 

If the WAN interface specified in the WAN Interface field does not have a

 

connection, the ZyWALL will attempt to use the IP address of another WAN

 

interface to update the domain name.

 

When the WAN interfaces are in the active/passive operating mode, the

 

ZyWALL will update the domain name with the IP address of whichever WAN

 

interface has a connection, regardless of the setting in the WAN Interface field.

 

Disable this feature and the ZyWALL will only update the domain name with an

 

IP address of the WAN interface specified in the WAN Interface field. If that

 

WAN interface does not have a connection, the ZyWALL will not update the

 

domain name with another port’s IP address.

 

Note: If you enable high availability, DDNS can also function

 

when the ZyWALL uses the dial backup port. DDNS does

 

not function when the ZyWALL uses traffic redirect.
