DESCRIPTION
Enable UPnP
Select this check box to activate UPnP on the UAG. Be aware that anyone could use a
UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the UAG's
IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web configurator).
Enable NAT-PMP
Select this check box to activate NAT-PMP on the UAG. Be aware that anyone could use
a NAT-PMP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the
UAG's IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web
configurator).
Allow UPnP or
NAT-PMP to
pass through
Firewall
Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled or NAT-PMP-enabled
applications to bypass the firewall.
Clear this check box to have the firewall block all UPnP or NAT-PMP application packets
(for example, MSN packets).
Outgoing WAN
Interface
Select through which WAN interface(s) you want to send out traffic from UPnP-enabled
or NAT-PMP-enabled applications. If the WAN interface you select loses its connection,
the UAG attempts to use the other WAN interface. If the other WAN interface also does
not work, the UAG drops outgoing packets from UPnP-enabled or NAT-PMP-enabled
applications.
Support LAN List
The Available list displays the name(s) of the internal interface(s) on which the UAG
supports UPnP and/or NAT-PMP.
To enable UPnP and/or NAT-PMP on an interface, you can double-click a single entry to
move it or use the [Shift] or [Ctrl] key to select multiple entries and click the right arrow
button to add to the Member list. To remove an interface, select the name(s) in the
Member list and click the left arrow button.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes back to the UAG.
