Configuring Dynamic DNS

The access point supports the Dynamic DNS service. Dynamic DNS (or DynDNS) is a feature
offered by www.dyndns.com which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned
IP addresses via the WAN port. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes, the
new IP address is sent to the DynDNS service and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the
new IP address.

NOTE

DynDNS supports only the primary WAN IP address.

To configure dynamic DNS for the Mobility 7131 Access Point:

1. Select Network Configuration -> WAN -> DynDNS from the Mobility 7131 Access Point menu

tree.
