Using Names to connect – internet or large enterprise
Easier for a user to associate a device with a name that is meaningful to them versus an IP address/port number
A domain name server ( DNS ) is the standard scheme used by the internet and large enterprises to do that

Automatic DNS Update
Update DNS servers with Device Server Name
Via DHCP ( DHCP Client FQDN - Option 81)
Configure a new IOLAN with a name. IOLAN will inform DHCP to provide IP address and then inform DNS server of the name.
Users can then connect directly using a name. No need to know IP addresses, or manually update DNS servers
Via Dynamic DNS for internet access
Client for internet DNS service provider www.DYNDNS.com
Users can connect to IOLAN’s over the internet by name
Especially useful with dynamic IP address environments such as Wireless WAN scenarios

DHCP Client FQDN – option 81 DHCP Server Enterprise DNS Server Administrator >Telnet hellodolly Enterprise Network Set name of IOLAN to “HelloDolly” I need an IP address and tell DNS Server my name is “HelloDolly” IP Address x.x.x.x is Called “HelloDolly”

Dynamic DNS Administrator www.dyndns.com DNS Service Provider >Telnet hellodolly.dyndns.biz Internet DNS account established with www.dyndns.com Setup “HelloDolly” as name Login to specific dyndns account
