Configure OPT port for Gaming Console
-
I am trying to set up the OPT port to connect a gaming console to the Internet and have uPNP enabled for OPT port only but using same DNS and WAN.
I used to have uPNP configured by allowing to LAN and creating an ACL to only allow to static IP. Would rather not have to allow to LAN.
I enabled OPT port, with DHCP for IPv4 and everything else left blank. I enabled uPNP for only OPT port.
I believe FW rules need to configured. I don’t have any rules in yet.
Console is not getting and IP assigned with current config.
How do I set this up correctly?

In the interface setting you marked IPv4 Configuration type as DHCP? If so then you need to change it to Static IPv4 since there's no DHCP server on the OPT to issue the interface an IP. Then you'll need to go to Services -> DHCP Server -> OPT 1 and enable DHCP server for OPT 1 then also create a DHCP pool.
Alternatively, you can just create an ACL in UPnP to only allow your gaming console.
