Reserve UPnP

Select this check box to have the ZyWALL retain UPnP created NAT rules even

NAT rules in flash

after restarting. If you use UPnP and you set a port on your computer to be fixed

bootup

ZyWALL to keep a record when your computer uses UPnP to create a NAT

 

forwarding rule for that service.
