4.8 Configuring DynDNS
The WS2000 Wireless Switch provides support for using the DynDNS service. Dynamic DNS is a feature
offered by www.dyndns.com which allows the mapping of domain names to dynamically assigned IP
addresses. When the dynamically assigned IP address of a client changes that new IP address is sent to the
DynDNS servers and traffic for the specified domain(s) is routed to the new IP address.
To view or change the DynDNS settings, select Network Configuration --> WAN --> DynDNS from the
left menu.
