1. INTERNET Dynamic IP As Dynamic DNS Server _ DSL Router _ PS 2 KVM over IP switch Server Figure 6 21 Dynamic DNS Scenario The DKVM IP1 switch is reachable via the IP address of the DSL router which is dynamically assigned by the provider Since the administrator does not know the IP address assigned by the provider the DKVM IP1 switch connects to a special dynamic DNS server in regular intervals and registers its IP address there The administrator may contact this server as well and pick up the same IP address belonging to his card The administrator has to register an DKVM IP1 switch that is supposed to take part in the service with the Dynamic DNS Server and assign a certain hostname to it He will get a nickname and a password in return to the registration process This account information together with the hostname is needed in order to determine the IP address of the registered DKVM IP1 switch 90 You have to perform the following steps in order to enable Dynamic DNS e Make sure that the LAN interface of the DKVM IP1 switch is properly configured e Enter the Dynamic DNS Settings configuration dialog as shown in Figure 6 20 e Enable Dynamic DNS and change the settings according to your needs see below Enable Dynamic DNS This enables the Dynamic DNS service This requires a configured DNS server IP address Dynamic DNS server This is the server name where DKVM IP1 switch registers it
