Domain name

Type the domain name you registered. You can use up to 255 characters.

 

 

Primary Binding

Use these fields to set how the ZyWALL determines the IP address that is mapped to

Address

your domain name in the DDNS server. The ZyWALL uses the Backup Binding

 

Address if the interface specified by these settings is not available.

 

 

Interface

Select the interface to use for updating the IP address mapped to the domain name.

 

Select Any to let the domain name be used with any interface.

 

 

IP Address

The options available in this field vary by DDNS provider.

 

Interface -The ZyWALL uses the IP address of the specified interface. This option

 

appears when you select a specific interface in the Primary Binding Address

 

Interface field.

 

Auto - If the interface has a dynamic IP address, the DDNS server checks the source

 

IP address of the packets from the ZyWALL for the IP address to use for the domain

 

name. You may want to use this if there are one or more NAT routers between the

 

ZyWALL and the DDNS server.

 

Note: The ZyWALL may not determine the proper IP address if there is an HTTP proxy

 

server between the ZyWALL and the DDNS server.

 

Custom - If you have a static IP address, you can select this to use it for the domain

 

name. The ZyWALL still sends the static IP address to the DDNS server.

 

 

Custom IP

This field is only available when the IP Address is Custom. Type the IP address to use

 

for the domain name.

 

 

Backup Binding

Use these fields to set an alternate interface to map the domain name to when the

Address

interface specified by the Primary Binding Interface settings is not available.
