Linsksys, RVS4000, Firmware Version: V1.1.14, create virtual lan with its own IP address

Asked by bnarindra in Xbox Video Game Console, Networking Security Vulnerabilities, TCP/IP

Tags: , , ,

I have 5 IP addresses.  I also have multiple xbox 360s.  In order to have the best game experience, I have to have uPNP enabled.  This is very insecure and I was wondering if I could give the xbox's their own virtual lan with their own public ip address?

Can this be done through static routing?  If this is possible, can I set uPNP to be open only for that specific IP address?

Basically, I want to set up a virtual router sandbox within my RVS4000 that can run uPNP to its heart's content and not leave a security vulnerability for the rest of my network (I work from home and want to keep security high on my work stuff).  I don't, however, want to run new cables to a second router... although that is an option if no software based solution is available.Start Free Trial
