STEP 6 (Optional) Select one of the following port speeds: 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000
Mbps. The default setting is 100 Mbps for all ports. This setting is available only
when the Auto Negotiation check box is unchecked. You can change the port
speed if a network is designed to run at a particular speed, such as 10 Mbps
mode. In this case, the endpoint also uses 10 Mbps mode either by auto-
negotiation or manual setting.
STEP 7 Click Save.
Configuring Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
DDNS is an Internet service that allows routers with varying public IP addresses to
be located using Internet domain names. To use DDNS, you must set up an account
with a DDNS provider such as DynDNS.com or TZO.com.
The firewall will notify dynamic DNS servers of changes in the WAN IP address, so
that any public services on your network can be accessed by using the domain
name.
To configure DDNS:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > Dynamic DNS.
STEP 2 Select the Dynamic DNS Service you are using. Selecting None disables this
service.
STEP 3 If you selected DynDNS.com:
a. Specify the complete Host Name and Domain Name for the DDNS service.
b. Enter the DynDNS account username.
c. Enter the password for the DynDNS account.
d. Check the Use Wildcards box to enable the wildcards feature, which allows all
subdomains of your DynDNS Host Name to share the same public IP as the
Host Name. This option can be enabled here if not done on the DynDNS Web
site.
e. In the Update Period field, enter the number of hours before the Cisco RV180/
RV180W updates the host information on DynDNS.com.
