Dynamic DNS Settings Table
The Dynamic DNS Settings table provides a table view of configured DDNS profiles.
Dynamic DNS Settings table includes the following columns:
• Profile Name - The name assigned to the DDNS entry during its creation. This can be any
value, and is used only for identification.
• Domain - The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the DDNS entry.
• Provider - The DDNS provider with whom the entry is registered.
• Status - The last reported/current status of the DDNS entry. Possible states are:
–
Online - The DDNS entry is administratively online. The current IP setting for this entry
is shown with a timestamp.
–
Taken Offline Locally - The DDNS entry is administratively offline. If the entry is
Enabled, the action configured in the Offline Settings section of the Advanced tab is
taken.
–
Abuse - The DDNS provider has considered the type or frequency of updates to be
abusive. Please check with the DDNS provider's guidelines to determine what is
considered abuse.
–
No IP change - abuse possible - A forced update without an IP address change is
considered by some DDNS providers to be abusive. Automatic updates will only occur
when address or state changes occur. Manual or forced should only be made when
absolutely necessary, such as when registered information is incorrect.

violation. Check the profile's settings, and verify the DDNS account status with the
