What is BOOTP/DHCP?
BOOTP stands for Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Both are
mechanisms to dynamically assign an IP address for a TCP/IP client by the server. In this case, the Prestige
Internet Access Sharing Router is a BOOTP/DHCP server. Win95 and WinNT clients use DHCP to request an
internal IP address, while WFW and WinSock clients use BOOTP. TCP/IP clients may specify their own IP or
utilize BOOTP/DHCP to request an IP address.
What is DDNS?
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing your
computer to be more easily accessed from various locations on the Internet. To use the service, you must first
apply an account from several free Web servers such as
WWW.DYNDNS.ORG
.
Without DDNS, we always tell the users to use the WAN IP of the 312 to reach our internal server. It is
inconvenient for the users if this IP is dynamic. With DDNS supported by the Prestige, you apply a DNS name
(e.g., www.zyxel.com.tw) for your server (e.g., Web server) from a DDNS server. The outside users can always
access the web server using the www.zyxel.com.tw regardless of the WAN IP of the 312.
