4.2.8 UPnP

Configuring UPnP on this page.

UPnP is an acronym for Universal Plug and Play. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to

simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in corporate

environments for simplified installation of computer components. The UPnP Configuration screen in

Figure 4-2-10

appears.

The page includes the following fields:

Description

Mode

Indicates the UPnP operation mode. Possible modes are:

Enabled: Enable UPnP mode operation.

Disabled: Disable UPnP mode operation.

When the mode is enabled, two ACEs are added automatically to trap UPNP

related packets to CPU. The ACEs are automatically removed when the mode is

disabled.

TTL

The TTL value is used by UPnP to send SSDP advertisement messages. Valid

values are in the range from 1 to 255.

Advertising Duration

The duration, carried in SSDP packets, is used to inform a control point or control

points about how often it or they should receive an SSDP advertisement

message from this switch. If a control point does not receive any message within

the duration, it may suggest that the switch no longer exists. Due to the unreliable

nature of UDP, as standard it is recommended that such refreshment of

advertisements to be done at less than one-half of the advertising duration. In the

implementation, the switch sends SSDP messages periodically at the interval

one-half of the advertising duration minus 30 seconds. Valid values are in the

range from 100 to 86400.
