Figure 6-21. Dynamic DNS Scenario
The PS/2 IP-KVM switch is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router, which is
dynamically assigned by the provider. Since the administrator does not know the IP address
assigned by the provider, the PS/2 IP-KVM switch connects to a special dynamic DNS server
in regular intervals and registers its IP address there. The administrator may contact this
server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his card.
