Issue
After setting up your netscreen for DDNS, in the UI of your netscreen the last response is shown as ‘not-init‘ and within the CLI it shows ‘successful updates: 0‘.
To get the id of you ddns config run just the command `get dns ddns` via the CLI.
ns5gt-> get dns ddns id 209

Resolution
This is normally down to the netscreen not having the required Certificate installed. These are the steps,
- Go to the website https://account.dyn.com.
- Click View Certificates, click the details tab, click the Certificate Hierarchy of Equifax Secure CA
- Click Export and then save the certificate.
- Go into the Web UI of the Netscreen and go to objects, Certificates, and upload.
- Go back to the DDNS section and click refresh.
- You should now see from the output of get dns ddns that it has successfully updated.
