| Description | This article describes a scenario where a FortiGate 50G is unable to resolve a hostname configured using FortiGuard DDNS. |
| Scope | FortiOS 7.6. |
| Solution |
A DDNS entry is configured using FortiGuardDDNS.
config system ddns edit 1
Attempting to ping the FortiGuard DDNS hostname fails:
execute ping test.fortiddns.com
However, connectivity and DNS resolution for other domains work as expected:
execute ping http://www.google.com
diagnose debug application ddns -1
The debug logs show repeated failures when updating the FortiGuard DDNS entry due to an internal connection or I/O error. The issue has been addressed and will be fixed on the later version FortiOS 7.6.6. |
