Dynamic DNS Settings Table
The Dynamic DNS Settings table provides a table view of configured DDNS profiles.
Dynamic DNS Settings table includes the following columns:
• Profile Name - The name assigned to the DDNS entry during its creation. This can be any value,
and is used only for identification.
• Domain - The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the DDNS entry.
• Provider - The DDNS provider with whom the entry is registered.
• Status - The last reported/current status of the DDNS entry. Possible states are:
Online - The DDNS entry is administratively online. The current IP setting for this entry is
shown with a timestamp.
Taken Offline Locally - The DDNS entry is administratively offline. If the entry is Enabled, the
action configured in the Offline Settings section of the Advanced tab is taken.
Abuse - The DDNS provider has considered the type or frequency of updates to be abusive.
Please check with the DDNS provider's guidelines to determine what is considered abuse.
No IP change - abuse possible - A forced update without an IP address change is considered
by some DDNS providers to be abusive. Automatic updates will only occur when address or
state changes occur. Manual or forced should only be made when absolutely necessary, such
as when registered information is incorrect.
Disabled - The account has been disabled because of a configuration error or a policy
violation. Check the profile's settings, and verify the DDNS account status with the provider.
Invalid Account - The account information provided is not valid. Check the profile's settings,
and verify the DDNS account status with the provider.
Network Error - Unable to communicate with the DDNS provider due to a suspected network
error. Verify that the provider is reachable and online. Try the action again later.
Provider Error - The DDNS provider is unable to perform the requested action at this time.
Check the profile's settings, and verify the DDNS account status with the provider. Try the
action again later.
Not Donator Account - Certain functions provided from certain provider, such as offline
address settings, are only available to paying or donating subscribers. Please check with the
provider for more details on which services may require payment or donation.
• Enabled - When selected, this profile is administratively enabled, and the SonicWALL will take the
Online Settings action that is configured on the Advanced tab. This setting can also be controlled
using the Enable this DDNS Profile checkbox in the entry's Profile tab. Deselecting this check-
box will disable the profile, and no communications with the DDNS provider will occur for this pro-
file until the profile is again enabled.
• Online - When selected, this profile is administratively online. The setting can also be controlled
using the Use Online Settings checkbox on the entry's Profile tab. Deselecting this checkbox
while the profile is enabled will take the profile offline, and the SonicWALL will take the
Offline Settings action that is configured on the
Advanced tab.
• Configure - Includes the edit icon for configuring the DDNS profile settings, and the
delete icon for deleting the DDNS profile entry.
