RV042 and no-ip.com

I recently purchased a RV042 device but when I tried to set my DDNS account I realized that the only two providers are dyndns.org and 3322.net. We already have an account in no-ip.com and several services using the no-ip.com host.

How can I set up a no-ip account in my rv042?

Regards and thanks for your help.

Hello

I couldn't find any "trick" to force it to use no-ip.com with it. I'm sorry to say, but should have read the specifications before purchase:

Regards,

Thanks Caling.

What if I install the no-ip client (DUC) in one of my server?

We use Dual-WAN in load balance mode. The problem is that when the no-ip client updates, it will be reporting WAN1 IP and/or WAN2 IP. Is there any way to avoid this behaviour?

Regards

If you install the client will work, but you'll have the problem that you said.

Maybe you can prioritize one provider over the other so always use the same exit point.

Otherwise you'll have the exit IP registered on no-ip.com.

HTH,

Calin

Cisco IOS versions 12.4 and later have the capability to directly update your No-IP hostname using a built-in DDNS client. If you have a Cisco router with the latest firmware, this support is already built into it. We offer these examples below for informational purposes only and recommend that router configuration changes be made by qualified personnel to minimize the risk of losing Internet connectivity or causing other damage to the router.

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. ip ddns update method method-name
  4. ddns [both]
  5. internal name-cache
  6. http
  7. add url
  8. remove url
  9. interval maximum days hours minutes seconds
  10. exit
  11. exit
  12. interface interface-type number
  13. ip ddns update hostname hostname
  14. ip ddns update method method-name
  15. exit

DETAILED STEPS


Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1enable

Example:

Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3ip ddns update method method-name

Example:

Router(config)# ip ddns update method myupdate
Specifies the update method name.
Step 4ddns [both]

Example:

Router(DDNS-update-method)# ddns
Configures DDNS as the update method and enters update method configuration mode. The both keyword specifies that both A and PTR RRs will be updated. Note You can specify DDNS or HTTP but not both in one step. If you have specified DDNS, you must disable it by using the no ddns command before you can configure HTTP. For the HTTP configuration, see Steps 5, 6, and 7.
Step 5internal name-cache

Example:

Router(DDNS-update-method)# internal mycache
Specifies that an internal cache will be used as the update method.
Step 6http

Example:

Router(DDNS-update-method)# http
Configures HTTP as the update method and enters DDNS-HTTP configuration mode.
Step 7add url

Example:

Router(DDNS-HTTP)# add http://username:password%40dynupdate.no-
ip.com/nic/update%3Fhostname=
hostname.yourdomain.com
Configures a URL that should be invoked in order to add or change a mapping between a hostname and an IP address. The following example of a URL specifies adding or changing the mapping information using No-IP.com: http://username:password%40dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update%3Fhostname=hostname.yourdomain.com. You have to input the URL string noted above. Alternatively, you can use the URL string http://username:password%40dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update%3Fhostname=&myip=The special character strings and will be substituted with the hostname to update and the IP address with which that hostname should be associated, respectively.

Note: Use the html encoding of %40 for the "@" symbol and %3F for the "?" symbol or IOS will complain.
Step 8remove url

Example:

Router(DDNS-HTTP)# add http://username:password%40dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update%3F
hostname=hostname.yourdomain.com
Configures a URL that should be invoked in order to remove a mapping between a hostname and an IP address. The URL takes the same form as the add keyword in Step 6.

Note: Use the html encoding of %40 for the "@" symbol and %3F for the "?" symbol or IOS will complain.
Step 9interval maximum days hours minutes seconds

Example:

Router(DDNS-HTTP)# interval maximum 1 0 0 0
Configures a maximum update interval. The arguments are as follows: daysRange is from 1 to 365. hoursRange is from 1 to 24. minutesRange is from 1 to 60. secondsRange is from 1 to 60.
Step 10exit

Example:

Router(DDNS-HTTP)# exit
Exits to update-method configuration mode.
Step 11exit

Example:

Router(DDNS-update-method)# exit
Exits to global configuration mode.
Step 12interface interface-type number

Example:

Router(config)# interface ether1
Enters interface mode.
Step 13ip ddns update hostname hostname

Example:

Router(config-if)# ip ddns update hostname hostname.yourdomain.com
Specifies a host to be used for the updates. The update will associate this hostname with the configured IP address of the interface. The hostname argument specifies the hostname that will receive the updates (for example, yourdomain.com).
Step 14ip ddns update method method-name

Example:

Router(config-if) ip ddns update myupdate
Specifies the name of the update method to use for sending Dynamic DNS updates associated with address changes on this interface.
Step 15exit

Example:

Router(config)# exit
