need help resolving dns 1

[imbadatthis]

Trying to setup a VPN using two routers with dynamic IPs.

both are 2621xm, running c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T7.bin

issue is when i try to define pre-shared keys i can't use an IP address as they are dynamically assigned by the ISP.

is there a way for me to use FQDN instead of IP addresses in my configuration ?

crypto isakmp key 0 XXXXXXXX [address | hostname]

I figure I can use the hostname option.
However how do I define said hostname to be resolved?

when I try

ip host WORD ?
<0-65535> Default telnet port number
A.B.C.D Host IP address
additional Append addresses
mx Configure a MX record
ns Configure an NS record
srv Configure a SRV record

none of which seem to be what I am looking for.

thanks,

are you using dyndns service?? you should be able to just specify the FQDN as you see in the isakmp key section as well as the crypto config. make sure that the router has DNS servers listed in the config and is able to ping by hostname.

im using no-ip.com DNS service, and the other side has a registered domain.

However im not sure how to incorporate that into the configuration ?

say mine is imbadatthis.no-ip.org [example]

can you please be kind enough to give me the command ?

it should be just as simple as this:

ip name-server <isp_dns_address>

crypto isakmp key 0 ***** hostname imbadatthis.no-ip.org

crypto map mymap 10
  set peer imbadatthis.no-ip.org
