UPnP / NATPMP Settings
UPnP and NATPMP are network protocols which allow a computer connected to the LAN port to
automatically configure the router to allow parties on the WAN port to connect to itself. That way, the
process of inbound port forwarding becomes automated.
When a computer creates a rule using these protocols, the specified TCP/UDP port of all WAN
connections' default IP address will be forwarded.
Check the corresponding box(es) to enable UPnP and/or NATPMP. Enable these features only if you
trust the computers connected to the LAN ports.
When the options are enabled, a table listing all the forwarded ports under these two protocols can be
found at N etwork>Services>UPnP / NATPMP .
12.5.3 DNS Settings
The builtin DNS server functionality of the Peplink Balance facilitates inbound load balancing. With this
functionality, NS/SOA DNS records for a domain name can be delegated to the Internet IP address(es) of
the Peplink Balance. Upon receiving a DNS query, the Peplink Balance can return (as an "A" record) the
IP address for the domain name on the most appropriate healthy WAN connection. It can also act as a
generic DNS server for hosting "A", "CNAME", "MX", "TXT" and "NS" records.
The settings for defining the DNS records to be hosted by the Peplink Balance are located at
Network>Inbound Access>DNS Settings .
