You must complete three steps to configure a DynDNS service for a router
interface:
1. Open an account with DynDNS.
2. Configure the logical interface's IP address.
3. Activate the dynamic DNS client.

Opening an Account with DynDNS

You should first register with DynDNS for a hostname. Visit the Web site at
www.dyndns.org and create an account. Select either the static or dynamic
option. DynDNS will guide you through the process of selecting a domain from
the 68 that it supports.
If you select the custom service, you can lease your own domain name.
DynDNS allows you to map a wildcard hostname to the address. You should
use this option, for example, to allow users to access the same device by
entering yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com.

Configuring the Interface's IP Address

On the ProCurve Secure Router, move to the configuration mode context for
the interface whose IP address you want to map to the static hostname.
The interface must have an IP address to run the dynamic DNS client. If you
have not already done so, configure the IP address.

Setting a Dynamic Address

When using Dynamic DNS, this address is generally a dynamic address—for
example, one obtained using DHCP. Interfaces using Custom DNS can also
have a dynamic address.
Enter:
Syntax: ip address dhcp [hostname <word> | no-default-route | no-domain-name |
no-nameservers]
