Abstract
A method of managing a gateway by a specific domain name is provided. The method includes firstly setting a DNS to connect to the internet. Next, a specific domain name for the gateway is defined. Then, the specific domain name is stored in the DNS for connecting the gateway according to the specific domain name. The present method maps the specific domain name to an IP address of the gateway, such that a user can manage the gateway by using the specific domain name instead of memorizing the IP address of the gateway, which is more convenient.

A method of managing a gateway by a specific domain name, comprising:
- setting a domain name server (DNS) for connecting to an internet;
- defining a specific domain name for the gateway;
- and
- storing the specific domain name in the DNS, so as to connect to the gateway according to the specific domain name.
A method of managing a gateway by a specific domain name, comprising:
- setting a domain name server (DNS) for connecting to an internet;
- defining a specific domain name for the gateway;
- storing the specific domain name in the DNS and mapping the specific domain name to an IP address of the gateway;
- issuing a request for resolving the domain name to the DNS and obtaining an IP address by resolving the specific domain name with use of the DNS;
- and
- connecting to the gateway through the IP address.
A gateway managed by a specific domain name, comprising:
- at least a wide area network (WAN) connecting unit for connecting an internet;
- at least a local area network (LAN) connecting unit coupled to the WAN connecting unit and to at least a host;
- a DNS coupled to the LAN connecting unit and the WAN connecting unit for providing a service of resolving a domain name, wherein a domain name record is built in the DNS, and the domain name record comprises a specific domain name of the gateway for mapping the specific domain name to an IP address of the gateway;
- and
- a gateway management module coupled to the LAN connecting unit for logging in, querying and configuring the gateway.
