DNS (Domain Name Server)
Domain Name Servers are used to map a domain name 
(e.g., www.somesite.com) to the equivalent numerical IP address 
(e.g., 64.147.25.20). Your ISP should provide the IP address of one or 
more Domain Name Servers. Enter those addresses on this page.

DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) provides users on the Internet with a method to 
tie their domain name to the router or server. DDNS allows your domain 
name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records 
changed when your IP address changes. (Default: Disabled)
The DDNS service dynamically updates DNS information to a static 
hostname, provided by the DDNS service provider, as clients’ IP 
addresses change.

ROUTING
4-71
When a router receives a routing update that includes changes to an entry, 
it updates its routing table to reflect the new route. RIP routers maintain 
only the best route to a destination. After updating its routing table, the 
router immediately begins transmitting routing updates to inform other 
network routers of the change.
Click Save Settings to proceed, or Cancel to change your settings.
Version Sets the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) version to use on 
this interface.
