/tool dns-update |
Standards: RFC 2136, RFC 3007
Dynamic DNS Update Tool gives a way to keep the domain name pointing to a dynamic IP address. It works by sending a domain name system update requests to the name server, which has a zone to be updated. Secure DNS updates are also supported.
The DNS update tool supports only one algorithm - hmac-md5. It's the only proposed algorithm for signing DNS messages.
DNS update tool works only with the BIND server, it will not work with DynDNS, EveryDNS, or any other similar service. |
Property | Description |
---|---|
address (IP; Default: ) | Defines the IP address associated with the domain name. |
dns-server (IP; Default: ) | DNS server to send updates to. |
key (string; Default: ) | Authorization key to access the server. |
key-name (string; Default: ) | Authorization key name (like a username) to access the server. |
name (string; Default: ) | Name to attach with the IP address. |
ttl (integer; Default: ) | Time to live for the item (in seconds). |

The system clock time on your router can't differ from the DNS server's time by more than 5 minutes. Otherwise, the DNS server will ignore this request. |
To tell 23.34.45.56 DNS server to (re)associate mydomain name in the myzone.com zone with 68.42.14.4 IP address specifying that the name of the key is dns-update-key and the actual key updates:
[admin@MikroTik] tool> dns-update dns-server=23.34.45.56 name=mydomain \ \... zone=myzone.com address=68.42.14.4 key-name=dns-update-key key=update |
