[Config] DynDNS Update interval question

Hi,

I am trying to install DynDNS in a Cisco router. The config of the router is fine and the system is up and running.

I would like to make sure that my DynDNS config is fine as I've never dealt with it before and additionally I would like to know what the update interval should be...?

This is the DynDNS config currently:

ip ddns update method <name>
 HTTP
  add http://<uname>:<password>@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
 interval maximum 28 0 0 0
 interval minimum 0 12 0 0
 

Additionally is the DDNS string correct too??

I have seen this system update previously while running:

sh log
 

and all ACLs etc... have been set to 'allow' the service.

Can anybody assist me or suggest anything to be able to be sure that the system is working properly?

I did run

debug ddns ....
 

and monitored the output of the console on the vty session I was running however, I did not see any output?

Thanks.

Thanks!

According to your syntax I tried:

ip domain name <hostname>
ip ddns update method <ddns_name>
 HTTP
  add http://<uname>:<passwd>@members.dyndns.org/nic/updatehostname=<hostname>&myip=<a>
 interval maximum 0 0 2 0
 interval minimum 0 0 2 0
 

With the Dialer interface being provisioned as such:

interface Dialer1
 bandwidth 448
 ip ddns update hostname <hostname>
 ip ddns update <ddns_name>
 ip address negotiated
 ip access-group 102 in
 ip inspect INBOUND in
 ip inspect OUTBOUND out
 ip nat outside
 ip virtual-reassembly
 encapsulation ppp
 dialer pool 1
 dialer-group 1
 ppp authentication chap callin
 ppp chap hostname <chap_hostname>
 ppp chap password 7 <scrt_passwd>
 ppp pap sent-username <pap_uname> password 7 <pap_passwd>
 ppp ipcp dns request
 ppp ipcp wins request
 crypto map mymap
 
 

However, running:

debug ip ddns update
 

does not yield anything with only 2 minute intervals.....

I **will** specify 28 days later after I start seeing something in the debug console....

Am monitoring by:

lin vty 0 4
monitor
 
sh log
 

Something is off definitely!

I had similar issues like this a while back when getting my HE dns and ipv6 updater working...

The trick seems to be to either shut/no shut the interface that the dyndns is running on. This will obviously cause you to lose internet access.
Or.....

clear int
in your case...
clear int dialer 1

Try that and let me know how it goes.
