Site-to-site VPN with remote site using dynamic DNS

I've seen a lot of articles on this, but folks usually resort to using dynamic policies. I'd like to use the dynamic info in the crypto map statement if possible.

 

The following shows a hostname can be used:

my-asa(config)# crypto map OUTSIDE_map 10 set peer ?

configure mode commands/options:
Hostname or A.B.C.D IP address
Hostname or X:X:X:X::X IPv6 address

 

I've created an object for this:

object network obj-dyn-site
fqdn dyn-site.dynamic-m.com

 

When I apply this to the crypto map statement, the following occurs:

my-asa(config)# crypto map OUTSIDE_map 10 set peer obj-dyn-site 

                                                                                       ^
ERROR: % Invalid Hostname

 

I don't see any relatively current configurations use this syntax, and the only articles that do are date mid 2000's. 

 

Thanks

This probably wasn't the answer you wanted, but you statically define the name using the command name <ip address> <name> and then reference in the crypto map. So you cannot use a FQDN object.

 

ASA5515(config)# show run name
name 1.1.1.1 TEST
ASA5515(config)# show run crypto map
crypto map CMAP 1 set peer TEST

You're correct - it wasn't the answer I wanted. I'll create a dynamic map for this then. The firewall has a backup link through a Cradlepoint that will be dynamic. I appreciate the answer.
