3. System Configuration 3.3.1 IPv6 Configuration By default, the console server Ethernet interfaces support IPv4. However, they can also be configured for IPv6 operation: • On the System: IP menu, select General Settings page and check Enable IPv6. • You will then need to configure the IPv6 parameters on each interface page. 3.3.2 Dynamic DNS (DDNS) Configuration With Dynamic DNS (DDNS), an advanced console server whose IP address is dynamically assigned (and may change from time to time) can be located using a fixed host or domain name. The first step in enabling DDNS is to create an account with the supported DDNS service provider of your choice. Supported DDNS providers include: • DyNS www.dyns.cx • dyndns.org www.dyndns.org • GNUDip gnudip.cheapnet.net • ODS www.ods.org • TZO www.tzo.com • 3322.org (Chinese provider) www.3322.org Upon registering with the DDNS service provider, you will select a username and password, as well as a hostname that you will use as the DNS name (to allow external access to your machine using a URL). The Dynamic DNS service providers allow the user to choose a hostname URL and set an initial IP address to correspond to that hostname URL. Many Dynamic DNS providers offer a selection of URL hostnames available for free use with their service. However, with a paid plan, any URL hostname (including your own registered domain name) can be used. 17
