476 Chapter 27 UPnP
When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For
security reasons, the ZyWALL allows multicast messages on the LAN only.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional
configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
27.1.4 UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has achieved UPnP certification from the Universal Plug and Play Forum UPnP™
Implementers Corp. (UIC). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet
Gateway Device).
