srx5308 upnp activated but my qnap cannot assign its ports
Hi there i just installed my srx5308 and connected all devises... now , my qnap server has the function to set the ports (UPNP) itself but that requires a router that is supporting this... the srx53...
hi
i have 2 QNAP.s ... one is directly linked to the srx5308 and the other one has a prosave managed switch in between. ...
it looks like sometimes it finds the upnp and then again not....
i have tons of port forwarding that I need
i am using 4.3.4-2
by the way... where do I have an overview of all the IP addresses currently used in my LAN network? I couldn't find it so far...
Hi don_daniel,
About port forwarding on the SRX5308, kindly read pages 140-145, 149-151 and 164-168 of the SRX5308 reference manual here.
On the web-GUI of the SRX5308, go to Network Configuration > LAN Settings > LAN Groups to check the overview of all the IP address currently used in your LAN network. For more information, kindly read pages 97-98 of the SRX5308 reference manual.

hi
thank you for the statements out of the manual. I am actually not referring to the manual settings that are posted in these articles.
i am referring to the UPNP function that the firewall supports (as of page 199 explained).
I have several NAS and a server that are settings the ports they require automatically... if the firewall is supporting it. according the above description, the srx5308 does, in theory at least..
anyone can help me further?
It seems that the srx5308 is accepting the ports in UPNP set up and then I can use the ports from outside (like for backup) but after a certain time (30-60minutes) the ports seem to be removed on the UPNP set up and the backup is aborting as the ports are closed!
and then about 10-15 minutes later, my ports are available again from outside!! and so it goes on!
it seems to me that the srx5308 periodical uPNP re-scan is somehow throwing out all current port settings... is there any setting on the srx5408 that i can tweek to have a stable port forwarding using UPNP?
and about the ports i need.. i need some for https access as well as backup needs some ports... just to name a few
Hi don_daniel,
From what you have mentioned, it is impossible to know which is at fault and why is it after 30-60 minutes the port mapping is removed and is re-scanned.
With regard to your question “it seems to me that the SRX5308 periodical uPNP re-scan is somehow throwing out all current port settings... is there any setting on the SRX5308 that I can tweak to have a stable port forwarding using UPNP?” – the answer here is no, as we can only set the Advertisement period and Time to Live, but not the periodical re-scan time.
If ever you could possibly gather the dbg logs after the issue appears: so the QNAP is found and UPnP opens the ports, then they are lost, and then opened again, kindly take the dbg logs and attach it here on this forum thread.
Furthermore, it would also be worthwhile for you to kindly check up with QNAP Support Team as well if they can verify the NAS is not causing the issue. Just to be clear, we are not trying to put the blame on the QNAP NAS, we just need to get their perspective on the issue as it is too hard to know which is causing the issue from the information we have.
