Serial Port Profiles
Dynamic DNS Field Descriptions
Dynamic DNS can be enabled and configured on a serial port level. If you enable Dynamic DNS and
leave the parameters blank, the Dynamic DNS system parameters will be used (
Network, Advanced,
Dynamic DNS tab).
Configure the following parameters:
IPv6 Local
Interface Identifier
The local IPv6 interface identifier of the IOLAN end of the PPP link. For
routing to work, you must enter a local IP address. Choose an address that is
part of the same network or subnetwork as the remote end. Do not use the
IOLAN’s (main) IP address in this field; if you do so, routing will not take
place correctly.
Field Format: The first 64 bits of the Interface Identifier must be zero,
therefore, ::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd is the expected format.
IPv6 Remote
Interface Identifier
The remote IPv6 interface identifier of the remote end of the PPP link. Choose
an address that is part of the same network or subnetwork as the IOLAN. If
you enable
Negotiate IP Address Automatically, the IOLAN will ignore the
remote IP address value you enter here and will allow the remote end to
specify its IP address. If your user is authenticated by RADIUS and the
RADIUS parameter
Framed-Interface-ID is set in the RADIUS file, the
IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in preference to the value
configured here.
Field Format: The first 64 bits of the Interface Identifier must be zero,
therefore, ::abcd:abcd:abcd:abcd is the expected format.
IPv6 Global
Network Prefix
You can optionally specify an IPv6 global network prefix that the IOLAN will
advertise to the device at the other end of the PPP link.
Default: 0:0:0:0
IPv6 Prefix Bits Specify the prefix bits for the IPv6 global network prefix.
Default: 64
Enable Dynamic
DNS for this Serial
Port
Enables/disables the ability to register a new IP address with the DNS server.
Default: Disabled
Host Specify the host name that will be updated with the PPP session’s IP address
on the DNS server.
User Name Specify the user name used to access the DNS server.
