 ====== Universal Plug'n'Play (NAT-PMP and UPnP) ======
-[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Plug_%27n%27_Play|Universal Plug'n'Play (UPnP)]] is a technology introduced by Microsoft that allows for easy configuration of port forwarding. Nowadays it is used by many network clients which rely on it to get proper access to the Internet. UPnP is also used by some game consoles, such as the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.

-[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT-PMP|NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP)]] is a technology similar to UPnP that originates from Apple. Unlike UPnP, it is currently an IETF standard, and a number of OS X, iOS, Linux and Windows applications support it.  NAT-PMP is basically a simple and sane replacement of UPnP for automating the process of creating port mappings in NAT.

   * Users with networking experience may define a separate internal interface LAN or DMZ via a VLAN to contain only Universal Plug'n'Play clients.  Then using a managed switch, configure these clients on this special Universal Plug'n'Play network.  The //Interfaces:// setting above would only be this one special network.
