Ros3 Dyn DNS

Info

The following script should be created when you wish to update your ChangeIP.com Dynamic DNS account. Once created you should schedule this to run once in a while. The :global variables should be edited to include your unique username and password, interface name, etc. The script here should allow auto-detection of the default gateways interface name. This script below can be used if you have more than 1 WAN connection, but only 1 is active at a time.

This script will work as is, just navigate to System/Scripts and run it. This particular script works good with a 5 minute interval to update your Dynamic DNS with a scheduler.

Setup

For this script to function correctly, there are a few things that will need to be setup. Not necessary, but always good to have in place.

• Routerboard Identity Setup rb_Identity
• Routerboard Time Setup, either manually rb_time_manual or via NTP rb_ntp_setup

Enhancements

• Check out Dynamic DNS Schedule to create a schedule, that will run the script at a predefined period.
