UPnP and VLANs
-
I've been trying to figure out how to get the "appliances" VLAN to see the UPnP server on different VLAN (LAN). I don't have a problem getting one machine in a VLAN to communicate with another machine on different VLAN - just that appliances cannot see the UPnP server. I know I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If remember correctly UPnP uses multicast.
Maybe you can try to setup rule which allows multicast between vlan's(assumed that you allready did)
Multicast info:
-protocol: UDP
-port#: 1900
-address: 239.255.255.250If this doesn't work, maybe it should use IGD functionality or NAT-T. But I don't know how well Internet Gateway Device(IGD) functionality is going to work between VLAN's

I tried that as well to no avail. I'm not sure if there's anything that needs to be done on the switch. Everything is working - I can get one machine in one VLAN to talk to another machine in different VLAN. Just that UPnP doesn't work. Any ideas?

Maybe someone smarter knows better. I'm out of ideas
Ofcourse you may take a look to firewall log if there is some more info or can take trafic capture and take a look that better -
Try installing the IGMP proxy. Enable it on all (vlan)interfaces.
It doesn't really matter which one is upstream, since servers downstream are noticed and propagated as well. -
On pfSense 2.0, the uPNP service supports monitoring on multiple interfaces so you can simply press 'Ctrl' and select all the VLAN interfaces.

I think els is talking about an upnp server and not about the pfSense providing access to it's port forwards via upnp.

My mistake then..

Thanks everyone for your help - GruensFroeschli is correct all I needed was IGMP proxy. So all clients are able to see the UPnP server on another VLAN.

Glad it solved out, now we all know more ;)
