IPsec Tunnel Using Dynamic DNS Instead Of IP Address

Hawk

Does any version of Software running on any ios or ios-xe routers (i.g 1941/ASR 1000) or an ASA (x series & traditional ASA) support the use of dynamic dns names for remote peer (IPsec tunnel) rather than traditional IP address?

 

I suppose that this would require the cisco router or ASA to have DNS configured on the box? I don't recall ever seeing a dns option on these types of cisco routers & firewalls, on the interface settings or anywhere else.

I believe this document should help you out with this:

It really depends on how your setup is configured, if only 1 side has dynamic addressing and the head end has a static IP you can basically just configure the head end router/ASA to possibly accept any connection and a tunnel is created if there is a matching connection profile set up. That way if the remote router/ASA obtains a new IP it shouldn't matter.
