DESCRIPTION
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).
Select Enable to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the VMG so that
they can communicate through the VMG by using NAT traversal. UPnP applications
automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP
enabled device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP
enabled application.
The table below displays the NAT port forwarding rules added automatically by UPnP NAT-T.
This is the index number of the UPnP NAT-T connection.
This is the description of the UPnP NAT-T connection.

This is the external port number that identifies the service.
