Technical Note: How to configure multiple dynamic DNS servers using CLI

[Andy_G]

Description

This article will explain the configuration of a dynamic DNS server on an interface from CLI.

The example shows how to add DDNS servers to two different interfaces, wan1 is having abc.com as domain and wan2 is having xyz.com as domain.  In the GUI, it is not possible to define different DDNS servers as it has only one option.

Solution

CLI:

config system ddns
    edit 1
        set ddns-server dyndns.org
        set ddns-domain "abc.com"
        set ddns-username "abc"
        set ddns-password ENC 7QdYBvGrYeAlMXXFaepEZRKzc0bOuXTpp

        set monitor-interface "wan1"
    next
    edit 2
        set ddns-server dyndns.org
        set ddns-domain "xyz.com"
        set ddns-username "abc"
        set ddns-password ENC CO2cemQO8WL+jf2MCB8W9vJnlrruDp8ixcvrlcN7a1Zb7Lr2dIlbcixTPYgsF3QrGrEp/V7S

        set monitor-interface "wan2"
    next
end
