Example: Set Up DDNS Configuration
This example describes how to set up a typical DDNS configuration.
Assumptions:
The following assumptions apply to this DDNS configuration example:
-
There is a single server that handles both DNS and DHCP for the network on which the SP resides.
-
The SP network address is 192.168.1.0.
-
The DHCP/DNS server address is 192.168.1.2
-
The IP addresses from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 are used as a pool to provide addresses to the SP and other clients.
-
The domain name is
example.com
. -
There is no existing DNS or DHCP configuration in place. If there is, use the
.conf
files in this example as a guideline to update the existing configuration.
Note:
How you set up DDNS depends on the infrastructure in use at your site. Oracle Solaris, Linux, and Microsoft Windows operating systems all support server solutions that offer DDNS functionality. This example configuration uses Debian r4.0 as the server operating system environment.You can use the following steps and sample files provided here, with site-specific modifications, to set up your own DDNS configuration.
