Command Reference Guide Ethernet Interface Command Set
A choice of two interfaces is available. The basic interface is designed for most users. It comes
preconfigured for most common configurations and allows for easy creation of most common record types.
The advanced interface is designed for system administrators with a solid DNS background, and provides
layout and functionality similar to a BIND zone file allowing for the creation of nearly any record type.
SM
Custom DNS can be used with both static and dynamic IPs, and has the same automatic update
capability through Custom DNS-aware clients as Dynamic DNS.
SM
dyndns-static - The Static DNS service is similar to DynDNS.org's Dynamic DNS service in that it
allows a host name, such as yourname.dyndns.org, to point to your IP address. Unlike a Dynamic DNS
host, a Static DNS host does not expire after 35 days without updates, but updates take longer to
propagate through the DNS system. This service is provided for up to five host names.
If your IP address does not change often or at all, but you still want an easy name to remember it by
(without having to purchase your own domain name), Static DNS service is ideal for you.
If you would like to use your own domain name (such as yourname.com), you need Custom DNS service
that also provides full dynamic and static IP address support.
Usage Examples
The following example sets the Dynamic DNS to dyndns-custom with host name host, user's name user,
and password pass:
(config)#interface ethernet 0/1
(config-eth 0/1)#dynamic-dns dyndns-custom host user pass
