DESCRIPTION

Host Name

Enter your host name in this field.

 

 

DDNS Type

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select DynamicDNS if you have the

 

Dynamic DNS service.

 

Select StaticDNS if you have the Static DNS service.

 

Select CustomDNS if you have the Custom DNS service.

Option

provider.

 

 

Enable Off

This field is only available when CustomDNS is selected in the DDNS Type field.

Line Option

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Yes. When Yes is selected, http://

 

www.dyndns.org/ traffic is redirected to a URL that you have previously specified

 

(see www.dyndns.org for details).

 

 

Bind WAN

Enter the WAN interface to use for updating the IP address of the domain name.

 

 

HA

Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Yes to enable the high availability

 

(HA) feature.

 

If the WAN interface specified in the Bind WAN 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 Bind WAN field.

 

Clear this check box and the ZyWALL will not update the domain name with an IP

 

address if the WAN interface specified in the Bind WAN field does not have a

 

connection.

 

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.

 

Refer to Section 21.10.2 on page 437 for detailed information.
