Cisco Routers :: RV042 Dynamic DNS Not Updating Automatically
Nov 30, 2011
I purchased 2 RV042's (h/w version 3) less than two months ago. I updated them to the latest firmware (v4.0.4.02-tm (Jul 4 2011 13:30:56)), did a factory reset to make sure I was working with a clean slate, set up DDNS through DynDNS and a site to site VPN between the two. Everything was working great for a month, then the DynDNS accounts expired because they weren't being updated. I reactivated the names on the DynDNS site, and started to monitor the "last updated" date and time. After 24 hours there were no updates according to the DynDNS site. I logged into one of the RV042's, and it said "Dyndns Enabled : Dynamic DNS is updated successfully." This is a stale message from 24 hours ago when I hit save. So I went into Setup | Dynamic DNS | Edit Config and there it also says "Dynamic DNS is updated successfully." I clicked "Save", status changed to " Dyndns Enabled : Updating..." for a few seconds, and then back to "Dyndns Enabled : Dynamic DNS is updated successfully". I refreshed the DynDNS website and it shows the current time (in eastern time, i'm pacfic) as the last time it was updated. So it works when I manually hit the "Save" button. Not making any changed, just hitting "Save". I've let the other RV042 go over 48 hours and it still hasn't updated. So it apears for the time being, I'll have to remember to push the "Save" button once a week to prevent my DynDNS accout from expiring. Does DDNS working in the lastest firmware and h/w version 3? If so, what is the update frequency?
I just updated my RV042 to the firmware RV0XX-v4.0.4.02-tm-20110704-code.bin and now im having this error every time that i try to logon in the router? 404 Not FoundThe requested server-side-includes filename, /usr/local/EasyAccess/www/htdocs/default.htm, does not seem to exist.
I am setting up a dual WAN network in our small business office and I am confussed on the set up of the RV042.
On WAN1 I have a satellite modem connected
On WAN2 I have a cradlepoint CTR35 Router with a verizon aircard
The satellite has lag issues and will drop out during poor weather but has a 17GB dowload limit. The verizon aircard has only 5GB download limit but normally works in poor weather. Code...
Do I select obtain DNS automatically on both WAN1 and 2? Do I set this up as a gateway or a router?
Cisco RV042 Dual WAN VPN Router -how to configure dynamic DNS without having to use the pre-programmed DDNS companies that are populated by default if my DDNS company is not listed and you cannot manually enter another company that is not on the list?
In setup for old RV042 (V1), when updating / adding Mac addresses, the table is always sorted by IP addresses. But in the new oneRV042 (V3) I have, even with latest firmware 4.2.1.02 the list is random, thereby increasing the chance of user entering DUPLICATE IP addr with diff Mac addr. That will result in conflict.If the firmware sorts the DHCP entries by ip addresses, user would be able to catch duplicate ip errors even if the system does not flag the errors. All Cisco smart engineers can you all get the dhcp entries SORT by ip addresses.
I have a Cisco ACS 5.2 and have set it up as a RADIUS server. I was wondering if there is a way to add and update users automatically? We have a large number of users > 1000 that need to be added into the system and I don't want to do this manually. These users also update their passwords on a regular basis so I would need a script that would update the users automatically without any user intervention.
I recently bought two RV042s to create a site to site VPN for a client. I have several of these setups installed at other locations but this is the first version 3 hardware I've used.It seems like the dynamic IP functionality of the VPN setup may not be working correctly. I've verified all settings on each router match and have deleted/recreated the setup several times just to make sure. Here's the logs from the router with a static IP.
Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log (g2gips0): deleting connection Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log added connection description (g2gips0) Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log listening for IKE messages Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log forgetting secrets Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log loading secrets from '/etc/ipsec.d/ipsec.secrets' Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log (g2gips0): cannot initiate connection without knowing peer IP address Nov 29 06:49:51 2012 VPN Log (g2gips0): cannot initiate connection without knowing peer IP address
I've tried both dynamic IP + email and dynamic IP + FQDN to authenticate the router using the dynamic IP and both give the same error as above.I did a firmware update hoping to fix PPPoE which seemed to be broken with a Netopia modem in bridge mode so both routers are on the latest firmware, v4.2.1.02.
So far I have a complete phase 1, and an almost complete phase 2, but one thing I can't figure out. I see this in the debug. peer is not authenticated by xauth - drop connection.
I have two of the Wrvs 4400n V2 VPN (V2.0.2.1-ETSI) routers in different countries, one in the UK and one in Australia. They are permanently linked using the IPSec VPN tunnel and the dynamic DNS feature (DynDNS.org). I have found that the router in the UK does not update its IP address automatically to the dns website when the UK Internet service provider changes the WAN IP of this router. This makes the IPSEC tunnel go down until I telephone the UK location and ask to force the router to update its IP address with dyndns by restarting it or by using the routers configuration to re-save the password for dynamic dns.
I have a Cisco rv220w. I just tried updating the firmware. I used RV220W-Firmware-1.0.3.5.img. It rebooted, and now there is no DHCP and no access to anything. I tried the reset button for 10 seconds. That didn't do anything. The WAN and all the LAN lights light up. Power is on and solid. The light blinks alternating between the DMZ and the blank space to the right of wireless. How can I get this back to factory defaults?
I'm using a wireless g router (f5d7230-4) which for most purposes is fine? Specifically: 1. I can't seem to stream media content from my windows 7 pc to my lg tv (model 55 lw 6500), and wonder if the age of the router is part of the problem; 2. some iptv channels on my ps3 are slow to load menus, though programs run fine when I push play (I gather ps3 is restricted to wireless g but if I upgraded the router I would plug in the ps3 using cat6). When I speed test my internet connection I'll typically get results around 2.5-5 Mbps. I'm impressed that a router of this age performs so well it isn't obvious to me that upgrading will improve the setup.
I have two RV082's connected across the internets using the primary WAN ports. They are both set to Auto Load Balance. Both ends of the VPN are set to "IP Only, IP by DNS Resolved".
If I attempt to access the remote subnet, the VPN won't automatically initiate a connection. However, if I do a "Tunnel Test" connection on both routers, then the remote subnet access works just fine.
Should the router automatically connect the VPN when a remote subnet is attempted? If so, what might I do to make it connect automatically?
How do I get one of these to automatically bring up the VPN tunnel without the end user having to login and click connect? I got the VPN working Dynamic to ASA static, but it doesnt come up on its own when I try to access something over VPN.
I have RV042 and E4200 routers . I tried the manual UPnP port forwarding using Rv042 router and was succesful ( by typing 192.168.1.1 in the explorer and logged in using user name and password )
I am using a linux embedded system whose Internal IP ,Internal port are mapped .This system is connected to one of the LAN ports
I want to try auto UPnP port forwarding both for RV042 router and Linksys E4200 routers
After enabling the Upnp option only and logging out ,Can i add a port mapping entry in this router without logging in using a C++ program which runs on linux embedded system .
I was looking for a small business router that has VPN support and dual WAN support for load balancing. Upon reading reviews, I think RV042/RV042G is a good choice. Now am thinking if it supports intervlan/ router-on-a-stick configuration?
I'm using a RV220W router, and recently got shifted to a dynamic IP solution.Now, I've got a no-ip.org address, but the update service seems to be on no-ip.com. So, I try to enter mydomain.no-ip.org OR mydomain.no-ip.com in the dynamic dns settings, under Host and Domain Name, but when saving the settings it says
'The hostname specified does not exist in this user account' ,which seems to indicate that it manages to login to the update service but gets a negative reply.Is it possible to use the RV220W with no-ip.org/com?
I am using using 2 broadband with tp-link dual wan router 10 pc using the broadband.does any one know about the router who controls bandwith there is option available in Tp-Link Dual wan router but its not working...is there any router which automatically takes bandwith and allow as per my details.
I have a cisco RV180W with a IPsec tunnel to the head office. The tunnel is working good, but if I reboot the RV180W, the tunnel don’t reconnect automatically, I need to go in the admin interface to IPsec Connections Status and press on Connect.Is there a way to make the tunnel connect automatically?
I just switched from a Linksys Router to the RV215W, I was able to put custom dns servers for my wan, ie. opendns, but now in cisco, I'm missing this feature.
Does any one know how to set-up a workarround with DHCP from my ISP and access custum dns servers..
When are we gonna have this feature implemented in the WAN secction.
I have a new d-link wireless N 150 home router DIR-600. I heard of the wan ping which works it connect for online gaming, does or does it not turn on when you install it and is there any other things i can do to improve it? can't connect to League of legends
I'm setting up a site-to-site VPN with an RV082 ( and an RV042). The RV042 is behind an Actiontec modem/router that has the local public IP address. So, this address is registered with dyndns so we can find it with a name.
The name is entered into the RV082 VPN Remote Group Setup as: Dynamic IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication The given name for the dynamic IP is entered into Domain Name: But, in the summary, the entry for the Remote Gateway shows only the name and 0.0.0.0 for the IP address.
This same RV082 can get the same IP address from a ping of the name just fine.
We just purchased the WRVS4400N router with high hopes. For some reason, our ISP provides a connection through L2TP Dynamic for a static IP. I repeat, L2TP Dynamic. Is there anyway to properly configure the router to use such a connection method. I only see L2TP Static, which seems to be the standard method for many routers.
I'm trying to combine dynamic and static NAT on a SR520. My dynamic NAT is specified with:ip nat inside source list 1 interface Dialer0 overload access-list 1 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.7.255 In addition to this I want to perform static NAT for a couple of selected internal hosts. I can do this:ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.5 10.85.10.2 which works fine but means that the source address 192.168.1.5 is translated to 10.85.10.2 for all destination IPs. What I want is for the above static translation only to occur for a particular destination subnet.To accomplish this I have tried:
ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.5 10.85.10.2 route-map toOtherSite route-map toOtherSite permit 10 match ip address 150 access-list 150 permit ip 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255
But this does not appear to work. Instead it seems to render the host 192.168.1.5 unable to progress through the NAT, whether the destination subnet is 192.168.10.0/24 or not, and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
I'm wondering if there is a possibility to get my homepage provider's custom dynamic DNS service working on my Cisco SRP541W Router as I'd not like to be forced to sign up for either DynDNS or TZO which are available through the web frontend.
I tried to sign in with my DYNDNS account in the dynamic dns settings and the username field is limited to 15 characters. The problem is that DYNDNS does not limit usernames to 15 characters and my username is more than 15 characters. How can I get them to fix this?
I have RV110W connected in private network 192.168.5.0/24, I have redirected pptp port from adsl modem to the RV110W and VPN works OK. DDNS on the adsl modem is not available.I need to use Dynamic DNS functionality on my RV110W. The device supports several DDNS services (TZO.com, Dyn DNS.com, 3322.org and noip.com). For all but TZO the public "Internet IP Address" shows as 192.168.5.110, which also gets auto registered with the DDNS service.I have tested this with free noip.com account and this is obviously undesired behavior. I need the router to register my real public IP.For TZO it shows the proper public IP, but TZO service is no longer available on TZO.com.
I think I'm missing a basic step here. In setting up a RV220W device behind either a cable modem or a DSL modem, the address that is being returned is not the public IP address of the modem, but rather the private IP address assigned by the modem to the RV220W. Doesn't matter for normal web access but trying to set up a VPN tunnel fails due to the inaccurate IP address.
If I do the same thing but use the dyndns.com application on a computer behind all of this (connected on the private LAN of the RV220W via cable), it reports the external IP address correctly. That works in some locations if I have an always on computer to load the application to. In some cases, however, there isn't such a computer to leave dedicated to running the separate program.
Since this works, and the RV220W doesn't, there is some difference between the Cisco implementation and the dyndns.com implementation.
So, is there a way to get the RV220W to return the true external IP address, or is it stuck returning a private address?
I'm currently using DynDNS for my Dynamic DNS Provider with the RVS4000, but I'm looking at upgrading to the RV180 and switching my Dynamic DNS provider over to DNS Made Easy since I can get all my DNS hosting under one roof. Does the RV180 support DNS Made Easy in its Dynamic DNS client? If not, could it be added in a firmware update?
I connected the DSL (WAN1-Internet) port in and the Cisco RV042 was able to get an IP automatically. I tested the connection and it works just fine. Then I connect the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2-DMZ/Internet Port) in and I have the RV042 automatically optain IP address. But it just says 0.0.0.0. I've tried release/renew and that does nothing. Also, when I connect the 2nd Internet connection the Internet goes down. The only way it goes back up is when I disable under the PORT MANAGMENT setting.
All the settings have been kept to the default.How can I get the router to obtain an IP address from the Cable Modem-Comcast (WAN2 DMZ/Internet Port).
