Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dynamic domain name system capable of inter-terminal access using a host name by DNS while effectively utilizing address resources by allocating a host address by DHCP. SOLUTION: A management server 11 allocates the host name to the MAC address of the terminal notified from an edge device, notifies the MAC address to a DHCP server 12 and notifies the correspondence of the MAC address and the host name to a DNS server 13. At the time of receiving an IP address allocation request, the DHCP server 12 selects and allocates one from an IP address group and notifies the correspondence of the allocated IP address and the MAC address to the DNS server 13. The DNS server 13 sets the correspondence relation of the host name of the terminal and the IP address.

Therefore, an IP address is assigned to each terminal as a host address. Have been. I at this time
As the P address, a globally unique address (global IP address) or a locally usable address (private IP address) is used. In recent years, due to a shortage of global IP addresses, a closed network which is not particularly connected to an external network. Alternatively, in an experimental network, a private IP address that can be independently managed in the network is used.

In this method, a plurality of IP addresses (IP address groups) are prepared (pooled) in advance by a DHCP server.
The terminal communicates with the DHCP server when
P address is queried and the DHCP server responds
In this method, one address is selected from a group of P addresses and assigned to a terminal. Since an IP address is assigned only to a terminal that is operating, effective use of address resources is possible, and since addresses are collectively managed by a server, there are advantages such that a user's setting mistake and address duplication hardly occur.

As described above, in the conventional system, since the DHCP server and the DNS server are independent and independently manage the terminal information, it is difficult to use both of them. . That is, since the DNS server fixedly associates the host name with the host address, if the host address is changed by the DHCP server, communication becomes impossible. Therefore, in order to apply the DHCP server, it is necessary to make the assignment of the host address of the terminal always constant.
However, there is a problem in that the effective use of address resources cannot be achieved.

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a plurality of terminals, a management server for managing a unique address of each terminal, a terminal for accommodating the terminal and a unique address of the terminal are stored in the management server. An edge device for notifying, a DHCP server for dynamically assigning one host address from a group of host addresses prepared in advance to the terminal, and a DNS server for associating the host address with the host name are provided. The address and the host name are associated with each other, and the unique address is notified to the DHCP server.
Notify the S server, and use the DN to determine the correspondence between the host address assigned to the terminal by the DHCP server and the unique address of the terminal.
The S server is notified, and the DNS server associates the host address of the terminal with the host name based on the notification information.

Next, when the terminal a2 reboots or starts up, the terminal a2 sends its own IP address to the DHCP server 12.
The DHCP server 12 transmits an address assignment request, and replies one (IP-12) from the pooled IP address group to the request. The DHCP server 12 determines the MAC address (MAC-12) of the terminal a2 and the assigned IP address.
The DNS server 13 is notified of data corresponding to the address (IP-12). In the DNS server 13, the host name a of the terminal a2 is obtained from the MAC address based on the notification information.

3 replies with the IP address IP-11. Hereinafter, since the terminal a2 has learned the IP address of the terminal a1, normal ARP processing (acquiring the MAC address from the IP address)
Thus, the MAC address of the terminal a1 is acquired, and thereafter, communication with the terminal a1 can be directly performed.

It is desirable to update the corresponding data of the DNS server 13 in accordance with the address allocation time (release time) in the DHCP server 12. Regarding this, it is possible to notify the DNS server 12 when the release time from the DHCP server 12 ends or at the time of reallocation, and update the data to ensure synchronization.
