Policy

with the WAN port'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 port’s IP

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

to update the domain name.

 

 

When the WAN ports are in the active/passive operating mode, the ZyWALL will

 

 

update the domain name with the IP address of whichever WAN port 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 port specified in the WAN Interface field. If that WAN

 

 

port 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.
