CHAPTER 11
DDNS
11.1 DDNS Overview
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address.
11.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
• Use the DDNS screen (see Section 11.2 on page 327) to view a list of the configured DDNS domain
names and their details.
• Use the DDNS Add/Edit screen (see Section 11.2.1 on page 328) to add a domain name to the Zyxel
Device or to edit the configuration of an existing domain name.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know
DNS maps a domain name to a corresponding IP address and vice versa. Similarly, Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
maps a domain name to a dynamic IP address. As a result, anyone can use the domain name to
contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe, etc.) or to access your FTP server or Web site, regardless of the
current (dynamic) IP address.
Note: You must have a public WAN IP address to use Dynamic DNS.
You must set up a dynamic DNS account with a supported DNS service provider before you can use
Dynamic DNS services with the Zyxel Device. When registration is complete, the DNS service provider
gives you a password or key. At the time of writing, the Zyxel Device supports the following DNS service
providers. See the listed websites for details about the DNS services offered by each.
Note: Record your DDNS account’s user name, password, and domain name to use to
configure the Zyxel Device.
After you configure the Zyxel Device, it automatically sends updated IP addresses to the DDNS service
provider, which helps redirect traffic accordingly.
