Configuration for Gaming

Firewall: By default, the SBG900 Firewall is disabled. If you enable the

SBG900 firewall, see the game manufacturer's documentation to ensure the

necessary ports are open for use by that game. If low security policy is enabled,

the SBG900 can pass Xbox Live™ by default and no user action is required. If

medium or high security policies are enabled, the firewall must be configured for

X-Box Live traffic. XBox Live requires UDP 88:88 and UDP/TCP 3074:3074.

Port Triggering: The SBG900 has pre-defined port triggers supporting:

DirectX

7 and DirectX

If your game uses one of these applications, no user action is required. For a list

of games supported by Battle Net, visit http://www.battle.net. You can also

configure custom port triggers that other games may require to operate properly.

If you set custom port triggers and enable the firewall, you must configure the

firewall to allow traffic through those ports.

Gaming DMZ: Some games and game devices require the use of random ports

or the forwarding of unsolicited traffic. We recommend configuring such a

device as a Gaming DMZ device. First reserve a private IP address for that

device's network interface MAC address and then designate it as a DMZ device.

You can reserve IP addresses for multiple devices, but only one device at a time

can be the Gaming DMZ. To connect a PlayStation

gaming, assign it as the Gaming DMZ because the ports required vary from

game to game.
