Select
Enable
to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open
the web configurator's login screen without entering the VMG's IP address (although you must
still enter the password to access the web configurator).
UPnP NAT-T State
UPnP NAT-T
Select
Enable
to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the VMG so that

enabled application.
The table below displays the NAT port forwarding rules added automatically by UPnP NAT-T.
