LABEL DESCRIPTION
UPnP 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).
UPnP NAT-T 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.
