Profile Name When you are adding a DDNS entry, type a descriptive name for this DDNS entry in the
UAG. You may use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(
_), or dashes (-), but the
first character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.
This field is read-only when you are editing an entry.
DDNS Type Select the type of DDNS service you are using.
HTTPS Select this option to encrypt traffic using SSL (port 443), including traffic with username
and password, to the DDNS server. Not all DDNS providers support this option.
DDNS Account
Username Type the user name used when you registered your domain name. You can use up to 31
alphanumeric characters and the underscore. Spaces are not allowed.
For a Dynu DDNS entry, this user name is the one you use for logging into the service, not
the name recorded in your personal information in the Dynu website.
Password Type the password provided by the DDNS provider. You can use up to 64 alphanumeric
characters and the underscore. Spaces are not allowed.

DDNS Settings
Domain name Type the domain name you registered. You can use up to 255 characters.
Primary Binding
Address
Use these fields to set how the UAG determines the IP address that is mapped to your
domain name in the DDNS server. The UAG 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 UAG 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 UAG 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 UAG and the DDNS
server.
Note: The UAG may not determine the proper IP address if there is an HTTP proxy server
between the UAG and the DDNS server.
Custom - If you have a static IP address, you can select this to use it for the domain
name. The UAG 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
Address
Use these fields to set an alternate interface to map the domain name to when the
interface specified by the Primary Binding Interface 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. Select None to not use a backup
address.
