O CONFIGURE DDNS SERVER URL FOR A METHOD
EXAMPLE
ALU(config–ddns-HTTP)# url https://test:test@members. 
dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
ALU(config–ddns-HTTP)# no url
Note: 1. The URL for HTTPS should be provided in the following way: For e.g., ‘https://
userid:password@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h> 
&myip=<a>. 
‘Userid’ is the user name and ‘password’ is the password at the DynDNS.org web site. 
The special character strings <h> and <a> will be substituted with the host name to 
update and the IP address with which that host name should be associated, 
respectively. 
Before entering the question mark (?) character, press ‘Ctrl + v’. This will allow you to 
enter the ‘?’ without the CLI interpreting the ‘?’ as a help query. And, to enable 
wildcard press ‘Ctrl + d’.
2. To use HTTPS URL, it is mandatory to download certificates from the Certificate 
Authority using certificate commands. For more information to download certificates, 
refer to “Importing Certificates” section in the System Configuration and Monitoring 
chapter in this guide.
