Specifying A Static Address; Activating The Dynamic Dns Client - HP ProCurve 7000dl Series Basic Management And Configuration Manual

Domain Name System (DNS) Services
Configuring Dynamic DNS
When you activate the DHCP client on an interface, you can optionally enter
a hostname for the interface, which your ISP may advertise to its DNS servers.
You can request that your ISP accept the hostname that you will register with
DynDNS. You would then enter that hostname for the hostname option. See
Chapter 13: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for more infor-
mation on configuring a DHCP client.
You can configure a PPP interface to take a dynamic address from a service
provider with this interface configuration mode command:
Syntax: ip address negotiated [no-default]
See Chapter 6: Configuring the Data Link Layer Protocol for E1, T1, and
Serial Interfaces for more information on configuring IP addresses for logical
interfaces.

Specifying a Static Address

If you selected the Static DNS service, you should assign the interface a static
address. An interface that uses Custom DNS can also have a static address, if
you so choose.
From the Ethernet or logical interface configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: ip address <A.B.C.D> <subnet mask | /prefix length>
See Chapter 6: Configuring the Data Link Layer Protocol for E1, T1, and
Serial Interfaces for more information on configuring IP addresses for logical
interfaces.

Activating the Dynamic DNS Client

You should now activate the client that automatically updates DynDNS when
the interface's dynamic IP address changes. Use this command, entered from
the interface configuration mode context:
Syntax: dynamic-dns [dyndns | dyndns-custom | dyndns-static] <hostname> <user-
name> <password>
Select the dyndns option for the Dynamic DNS service, the dyndns-static
option for the Static DNS service, and the dyndns-custom option for Custom
DNS. Enter the hostname you have selected for the router interface. Then
enter the username and password that you established when creating your
DynDNS account.
