Netgear FVS318N User Manual

Access the website of the DDNS service provider, and register for an account (for example, 
for DynDNS.org, go to

 http://www.dyndns.com/

).

Configure the DDNS service settings as explained in the following table:

Click Apply to save your configuration. 

Configure the IPv6 Internet Connection and WAN Settings

The nature of your IPv6 network determines how you need to configure the IPv6 Internet 
connection:

Native IPv6 network. Your network is a native IPv6 network if the wireless VPN firewall 
has an IPv6 address and is connected to an IPv6 ISP and if your network consists of 
IPv6-only devices. However, because we are in a IPv4-to-IPv6 transition period, native 
IPv6 is not yet very common.

Change DNS to 
(DynDNS, TZO, 
Oray, or 3322)

Select the Yes radio button to enable the DDNS service. The fields that display on the 
screen depend on the DDNS service provider that you have selected. Enter the following 
settings:

Host and Domain Name

The host and domain name for the DDNS service.

Username or

 

User Email Address

The user name or email address for DDNS server 
authentication.

Password or User Key

The password that is used for DDNS server authentication.

Change DNS to 
(DynDNS, TZO, 
Oray, or 3322)

Use wildcards

If your DDNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving 
your URL, you can select the Use wildcards check box to 
activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature 
causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP 
address as yourhost.dyndns.org.

Update every 30 days

If your WAN IP address does not change often, you might 
need to force a periodic update to the DDNS service to 
prevent your account from expiring. If the Update every 30 
days check box displays, select it to enable a periodic 
update.
