UPnP

I know that UPnP will never be incorporated into Sophos. I really need to use this because several devices that I own will not work at its maximum potential without it. I also like the traffic reporting of Sophos. So I'm stuck. I can use just a Linksys router for these devices but I am interested in seeing the traffic. I had an idea that I just need an opinion on. I wanted to hook up something like this..

Right now I have..

Cable Modem --> Sophos --> 6 VLANs defined --> Managed switch with 6 PVIDs

I wanted to try..

Cable Modem --> VLAN capable Linksys router (6 devices, define 6 VLANs) --> Trunk to Sophos --> Ethernet Set to "Ethernet VLAN" --> VLANs Defined in Sophos --> "Ethernet VLAN" Out to managed switch --> Each port set to a different PVID so I can connect each device in a port.

I just wanted an opinion or 2 before taking everything apart. Can traffic pass through the Sophos without being messed with?

So close.. I have this almost working.

I have:
Cable Modem
to
OpenWRT VLAN capable router
to
eth0
bridged to
eth1
to
Managed switch

I have connectivity throughout.
However, UPnP doesn't make it from device to the OpenWRT router through the Sophos.

UPnP makes it to the router if I connect to one of the router ports.

I there some sort of muticast thing that I'm missing?

UTM won't pass multicast traffic between networks without setting up Multicast Routing, which requires a 3rd party RP Router. The newer Sophos Firewall, XG, can do this though. www.sophos.com/.../123135.aspx. XG also has a free home license, so you may want to give it a shot. community.sophos.com/.../

Thank you.. I never grasped the RP router thing since I have seen several posts stating that they made the UTM the RP router. At least I know what my options are.
