Parameter Description
Example
Key Configures a Transaction Signature (TSIG)shared
secret key to secure the dynamic updates.
The following algorithm names are supported:
l hmac-md5 (used by default if algo-name is not
specified)
l hmac-sha1
l hmac-sha256
NOTE: When a key is configured, the update is
successful only if W-IAP and DNS server clocks are in
sync.
hmac-sha1:arubaddns:

Server IP Enter the server IP address of the DNSserver to
which the client updates are sent.
10.17.132.85
Interval Specify the time interval (in secs) at which the

Configuring Dynamic DNSUpdates for Clients
You can enable DDNSupdates when creating or editing a DHCP scope for Distributed, L3 clients. When
enabled, the DDNSupdates of the clients are periodically sent during the specified time to the DNSserver that
is configured in the DHCPprofile. If there is no DNSserver configured in the DHCPprofile, the client
DNSupdates will be dropped. The DDNSupdates are secured by using TSIGshared secret keys, when
communicating between the client and the server. For more information, see Configuring Distributed DHCP
Scopes on page 209.
