Enabling Universal Plug-n-Play

Home menu level: /ip upnp
Property Description
allow-disable-external-interface ( yes | no ; default: yes ) - whether or not should the users be
allowed to disable router's external interface. This functionality (for users to be able to turn the
router's external interface off without any authentication procedure) is required by the standard, but
as it is sometimes not expected or unwanted in UPnP deployments which the standard was not
designed for (it was designed mostly for home users to establish their local networks), you can
disable this behavior
enabled ( yes | no ; default: no ) - whether UPnP feature is enabled
show-dummy-rule ( yes | no ; default: yes ) - this is to enable a workaround for some broken
implementations, which are handling the absense of UPnP rules inincorrectly (for example, popping
up error messages). This option will instruct the server to install a dummy (meaningless) UPnP rule
that can be observed by the clients, which refuse to work correctly otherwise
Example
To enable UPnP feature:
[admin@MikroTik] ip upnp> set enable=yes
[admin@MikroTik] ip upnp> print
allow-disable-external-interface: yes
[admin@MikroTik] ip upnp>
