Gaming Configuration Guidelines

The following subsections provide information about configuring the SBG900 firewall and DMZ for gaming.

Configuring the Firewall for Gaming

By default, the SBG900 firewall is disabled. If, as recommended, you enable the firewall, refer to the game’s

documentation to ensure that the necessary ports are open for use by that game.

The pre-defined SBG firewall policies affect X-Box Live

as follows:

Configuring Port Triggers

Because the SBG has pre-defined port triggers for games using any of the following applications, no user action is

required to enable them:

• DirectX 7 and DirectX 8

• MSN Games by Zone.com

• Battle.net

For a list of games supported by Battle.net, visit http://www.battle.net.

You may need to create custom port triggers to enable other games to operate properly. If you set custom port

triggers and enable the firewall, you must customize the firewall to allow traffic through those ports. To create

custom port triggers, use the Gateway > PORT TRIGGERS — custom Page.

Low XBox Live data can pass through the firewall. No user action is required.

Medium or high To enable X-Box Live traffic to pass, you must configure:

• Choose Custom on the Firewall > POLICY — basic Page

• UDP 88:88 and UDP/TCP 3074:3074 on the Firewall > POLICY — advanced Page
