Configuring advanced DynDNS settings (optional)
Defining a mail exchanger for your hostname
If required, you can define a mail exchanger or a backup mail exchanger for your hostname on the
DynDNS server.
Mode: DynDNS
Step Command
1 node(dyndns)# mail-exchanger
hostname [backup-mx]
Example: Defining a mail exchanger
The following example shows how to define a mail exchanger named mail.mycompany.com, which should be
used as the primary mail-exchanger for the registered DynDNS hostname.
node>enable
node#configure
node(cfg)#context ip
node(ctx-ip)[router]#dyndns
node(dyndns)#mail-exchanger mail.mycompany.com

Troubleshooting

The DynDNS component provides several commands to analyze and solve DynDNS problems. You can
retrieve basic DynDNS status information as follows:
Mode: DynDNS
Step Command
1 node(dyndns)#show dyndns
Example: Displaying DynDNS status information
The following example displays status information of a properly configured and working DynDNS client.
node(dyndns)#show dyndns
Current state: Idle
Last registered address: 243.232.39.64
Hostname: test.dyndns.org
You can also monitor current activities of the DynDNS client. This includes ongoing DNS queries for
DynDNS servers, verification of the currently registered IP address and updating the registration on the
DynDNS server. The debug monitor can be enabled as follows;
Mode: Configure
Step Command
1 node(cfg)#debug dyndns
DynDNS configuration task list
