Dynamic DNS

A freely available Dynamic DNS service (dyndns.org) can be used in the
following scenario:
Dynamic DNS Scenario
You can reach the RIPM via the IP address of the DSL router, which is
dynamically assigned by the provider. Since the administrator does not know the
IP address assigned by the provider, the RIPM connects to a special dynamic
DNS in regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator may
contact this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to the
NIC. The administrator must register a RIPM to use the service with the dynamic
DNS and assign a certain host name to it. A username and password will be
assigned during the registration process. This account information together with
the host name is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered
RIPM.
You must perform the following steps in order to enable dynamic DNS:
• Make sure that the LAN interface of the RIPM is properly configured.
• Enter the dynamic-DNS-settings-configuration dialog as shown on page 55.
