# Set up Dynamic DNS for Cellular Gateways

Learn how to configure Dynamic DNS on a Verkada Cellular Gateway

Cellular gateways can act as a site-to-site IPsec IKEv2 VPN client. The public IP address for a VPN client is required to set up the IPsec tunnel. Setting up Dynamic DNS will ensure the VPN server always has access to the dynamically assigned public IP address for the VPN client (GC31/GC31-E).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.verkada.com/connectivity/configuration/add-cellular-gateway-to-command/set-up-dynamic-dns-for-cellular-gateways.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
