Re: Gaming Consoles/UPnP

[Jacqueline Pitter <pitter () REED EDU>]

Our requests this year has been mostly students wanting to setup Minecraft
Servers. We do not support opening inbound traffic ports for student
devices so usually the students end up employing a Hamachi solution.

That being said, there could be a strong argument for creating a
cordoned off vlan for gaming purposes. I'll have to think about this
further.
