DDNS
The dynamic DNS (DDNS) service resolves a fixed domain name to an IP address that may change frequently in real-time. That is, no matter when and how a user accesses the Internet at an IP address and no matter what the IP address is and whether the IP address is changed, the DDNS ensures that the user’s computer can be connected through a fixed domain name. This means that the computer under the DDNS service seems to have a fixed IP address and therefore can act as an Internet server.
Huawei ONTs support the following DDNS service providers: DynDNS, DynDNS-static, DynDNS-custom, QDNS, QDNS-static, GnuDIP, GnuDIP.HTTP, No-IP, DtDNS, EasyDNS, and Oray.
