upnp.addPortMapping
Add a port mapping to gateway using UPnP
|
Usage |
upnp.addPortMapping [-a=<fake address>] <port>
|
Description |
Makes a request to the gateway of the local network using UPnP; the request asks the gateway to add an entry in its port mapping table.
If the gateway accepts the request, it will forward packets received on <port> on its external (wan) ip address to the host KVIrc is running at, on the same <port>.
Depending on vendors, this is called with different names: Port forwarding, SUA, Virtual Server, PAT, ...
It's better to check is a gateway has been found using $upnp.isgatewayavailable before using this function.
|
Switches |
-a=<fake address> | --fake-address=<fake address> |
Send the <fake address> as target for the port mapping If this switch is not given, the request will contain the real IP address of the listening interface.
