Cisco RV220W Administration Guide
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is an Internet service that allows routers with dynamic
public IP addresses to be located by using Internet domain names. To use DDNS,
set up an account with a DDNS provider such as DynDNS.com or TZO.com.
When this feature is enabled, and you have an active account with a DDNS
provider, the Cisco RV220W notifies DDNS servers of changes in the WAN IP
address, so that any public services on your network can be accessed by using
the domain name.
To open this page: In the navigation tree, choose Networking > Dynamic DNS.
Select the Dynamic DNS Service you are using. Selecting None disables this
service.
Enter the settings for the selected service.
• If you selected DynDNS.com, enter these settings:
- Specify the complete Host Name and Domain Name for the DDNS
service.
- Enter the DynDNS account Username.
- Enter the DynDNS account Password. Re-enter it in the Confirm
Password box.
- Check the Use Wildcards box to enable the wildcards feature, which
allows all subdomains of your DynDNS Host Name to share the same
public IP as the Host Name. You can enable this option here if not done on
the DynDNS website.
- Enter the Update Period in hours. This value is the interval at which the
router sends updates to the Dynamic DNS Service. The default value is
360 hours.
• If you selected TZO.com, enter these settings:
- Specify the complete Host Name and Domain Name for the DDNS
service.
- Enter the User E-mail Address for the TZO account.
- Enter the User Key for the TZO account.
