Dynamic DNS

luis.avila · ‎12-30-2003

Can we configure a DDNS client in a Cisco 827-4V (12.2(15) IOS).

The idea is to have an account in i.e. www.dyndns.org and by doing this getting the updated public IP address of the router.

Hello,

I don't think there is a restriction on the type of client that uses DDNS, so the 827-4V should work without a problem. I have heard that certain types of Linksys Wireless routers (WRT54G routers) are rejected by SPs unless a patch is installed, since these routers flood the provider network with unwanted traffic.

Regards,

GP

Thanks,

But do you know how to configure the cisco?

Hello Luis,

the most important thing is that you configure the command:

ip address negotiated

on your ATM or Dialer interface, this way your 827-4V gets a dynamic IP address from the provider. Here is a sample config for PPPoE and NAT:

827-4V#

protocol pppoe

!

!--- Internal Ethernet network.

!

interface Ethernet0

ip address 10.92.1.182 255.255.255.0

ip nat inside

!--- DSL interface.

!

interface ATM0

no ip address

no atm ilmi-keepalive

bundle-enable

dsl operating-mode auto

hold-queue 224 in

!--- All defaults.

!--- PPPoE runs on top of AAL5SNAP, but the

!--- encap aal5snap command is not used.

!

interface ATM0.1 point-to-point

pvc 1/1

pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1

!--- pvc 1/1 is an example value that must be changed

!--- to match the value used by the ISP.

!

!--- The PPPoE client code ties into a dialer interface upon

!--- which a virtual-access interface is cloned.

!

interface Dialer1

ip address negotiated

ip mtu 1492

!--- Ethernet MTU is 1500 by default -- 1492 + PPPoE headers = 1500

ip nat outside

encapsulation ppp

dialer pool 1

!--- Ties to ATM interface.

ppp authentication chap callin

ppp chap hostname

ppp chap password

!

!--- Note: The ISP will instruct you regarding the

!--- type of authentication to use.

!--- To change from PPP CHAP to PPP PAP, replace

!--- ppp authentication chap callin

!--- ppp chap hostname

!--- ppp chap password

!--- with ppp authentication pap callin

!--- ppp pap sent-username password

!--- For NAT, overload on the Dialer1 interface

!--- and add a default route out since dialer IP address can change.

ip nat inside source list 1 interface Dialer1 overload

ip classless

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dialer1

no ip http server

!

access-list 1 permit 10.92.1.0 0.0.0.255

!--- For NAT.
