Description
This article provides a basic guide to configure a third party DDNS service in FortiGate devices. This article assumes a DDNS service contract is already active and all the parameters from the third party DDNS service are available.
Scope

Solution
Execute the following commands in a CLI session:
config system ddns
edit 1
set monitor-interface "wan1"
set ddns-server members.easydns.com
set ddns-domain "hostname"
set ddns-username "username"
set ddns-password password
Where:
- 'wan1' is the WAN interface bound to the DDNS service.
- members.easydns.com is the name of the DDNS server from the DDNS service provider.
- 'hostname' is the name assigned to the FortiGate device.
- 'username' is the user account for the DDNS service provided by the DDNS service provider.
- 'password' is the password of the account for the DDNS service provided by the DDNS service provider.
