DESCRIPTION
Select this check box to activate UPnP on the ZyWALL/USG. Be aware that anyone could
use a UPnP application to open the web configurator's login screen without entering the
ZyWALL/USG's IP address (although you must still enter the password to access the web
configurator).
NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP) automates port forwarding to allow a computer in
a private network (behind the ZyWALL/USG) to automatically configure the ZyWALL/
USG to allow computers outside the private network to contact it.
Select this check box to activate NAT-PMP on the ZyWALL/USG. Be aware that anyone
could use a NAT-PMP application to open the web configurator's login screen without
entering the ZyWALL/USG's IP address (although you must still enter the password to
access the web configurator).
Select this check box to allow traffic from UPnP-enabled or NAT-PMP-enabled
applications to bypass the security policy.
Clear this check box to have the security policy block all UPnP or NAT-PMP application
packets (for example, MSN packets).
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 ZyWALL/USG attempts to use the other WAN interface. If the other WAN interface
also does not work, the ZyWALL/USG drops outgoing packets from UPnP-enabled or
NAT-PMP-enabled applications.
The Available list displays the name(s) of the internal interface(s) on which the
ZyWALL/USG 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 entriess 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.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL/USG.
Click Reset to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
