Detects time-zone depending on the router's public IP address and our commercial database.

Updates time after a reboot and during every DDNS update (when router's WAN IP address changes or after the force-update command is used).

Approximate time (accuracy of several seconds, depends on UDP packet latency).Below you can find operation details that are relevant to the IP/Cloud's update time service: In most cases NTP/SNTP is not required in order to simply have a correct time set on the device, for simplicity you can use the IP Cloud's update time service.

To have your system's clock updated, you can use NTP or SNTP, though it requires you to specify an IP address for the NTP Server. from WAN port)Ĭorrect time on a device is important, it cause issues with the system's logs, break HTTPS connectivity to the device, tunnel connectivity and other issues. (Default MikroTik configuration does not permit access to services such as WebFig, WinBox etc. Note: To actually connect to the device using the DNS name provided by cloud server, user must configure router's firewall to permit such access from the WAN port. To enable the DDNS /ip cloud set /ip cloud print If your device is only able to reach using IPv4, then only a DNS A record is going to be created for your public IPv4 address.

Since RouterOS v6.43 if your device is able to reach using IPv6, then a DNS AAAA record is going to be created for your public IPv6 address. Sends encrypted packets to or using UDP/15252 port.Waits for the MikroTik's Cloud server's response: 15 seconds.Checks for outgoing IP address change: every 60 seconds.Below you can find operation details that are relevant to the IP/Cloud's DDNS service: Such a service is very useful when your ISP has provided a dynamic IP address that changes periodically, but you always need an address that you can use to connect to your device remotely. Note: IP/Cloud requires a working paid license on Cloud Hosted Router (CHR).ĭDNS or Dynamic DNS is a service that updates the IPv4 address for A records and the IPv6 address for AAAA records periodically.
