we had a large number of Dynamic Ip addresses Router board. i can recieve the syslog from Dude and get the ip address.
but there quite alot of site so i would know those identity name?

Is some script could let router board send identiy name in syslog as well?

It’s called DNS Its the only form of name/ip resolution available to syslog

ｂｅｃｏｕｓｅ i think ｉｔｉｓｆｒｏｍＵＳＡ the time different from NZ. so the web site couldn’t resieve the DNS data very well. In addtion ip change couldn’t update ftp at same time

how can i use /tool dns-update in router os dirctly point to my DNS ｓｅｒｖｅｒ？

you just want a log entry with identity ?

:log info [/system identity get name]

or

:log info ("Identity: " . [/system identity get name])

thank you for answer all the qusetions.

I have add our dynamic router board to the changeip.com. they are profect. but i found some of them i check router board log. it said “DDNS: No update required”. but i check the “view Recent DDNS Updates” the web hasn’t resived the new ip address from the router board only the old one.

could you tell me how could i fix it.

thank you

fix what? if your DHCP servers gives you same ip address what you have to update? if you want to make sure that your dhcp looses its current ip address, then on dhcp server set up lease time lower that default (3 days). so, by default for 3 days in a row you are guaranteed to get same ip address.

No
the ip address for each site has been changed but the ipchange web site didn’t get it. the router board said "“DDNS: No update required”. Before in last week it is fine i could get ip address from web site. but not this week

i check the web ip address update log, it didn’t get the latest ip address.

i really don’t now why?

open up a terminal and type:

:env print

check the last ip and current ip and see if they are different. if you need to you can force the last ip to something else to trigger it to update. if its a recurring problem email us at support at changeip dot com.

is your mikrotik wan ip a public or private ip address ?

harrylee · March 31, 2009, 2:56am

I check the syslog on router board said “DDNS: No update required”
but on IP change web site on the log it doesn’t show.

my ipaddress is dynamice ip address.

i type “:env print” it is doesn’t show anything.
my router board is RB 450 OS 3.20

Thank you

From the last post it sounds like he expects the changeIP site to “record” the no action..

But, the script runs localy and only contacts changeIP IF it sees thet the localy “monitered” address changes.. IE: DHCP lease timeout has expired and a new address (different from the last script run) has been assigned… THEN the script opens a connection with changeIP and updates the dynamic DNS system…

It sounds more like a user / password issue in the script or possable account issue…

I use changeIP, and my script runns every 15 Min…

No errors or failure to update in 5 months..

I use the script from the changeIP site unchanged (except the user / password)…
