See the Custom Dynamic DNS article for instructions on how to configure a custom Dynamic DNS service.
1. Enter configuration mode.
configure
2. Add the Dynamic DNS service and the login credentials.
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> host-name <host>
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> login <username>
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> password <password>
3. Configure the location of the Dynamic DNS server.
set service dns dynamic interface eth0 service <dyndnsservice> server <server>
4. Commit the changes and save the configuration.
commit ; save ; exit
You can verify the status and force an update of the Dynamic DNS service using the commands below:
show dns dynamic status
update dns dynamic interface <interface-name>
By default, EdgeOS will only update Dynamic DNS when the IP address actually changes.
