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 checkbox will disable the profile, and no communications with the DDNS
provider will occur for this profile until the profile is again enabled.
