Dlink & uPnP

Product : dLink DCS 2100 & dLink DI-624
Part Involved : Port 1900 (UpNp)
Summary: With no appearently reason your LAN activity has increased a burst of broadcast
Scenario : There are some delays inserted into you LAN connections.
Company : National Cancer Institute of Peru (INEN).
Reference Date : February 2008 to April 2008.

There is a hidden knowledge that is only enough to assign an ip address an every equipment connect to our LAN connections, but what happen is this device saves to itself additional functions of routing tasks when at the begining was buyed to fullfill another function ?

But it works perfectly, after your plugged it on the outlet LAN (it is sure that you are going to forget it!), and that is according to my experience in the case of this two models, but monitored with the help of WinDump application in order to identify the device connected and the ports used, when and how.

I have attached two procedures videos to detect the activity to these ports related to this issues and the later steps to disable UpNp in the device.

I sure you, that this type broadcast will not become again, at least not for this reason !
