UPnP devices do not see each other

If UPnP devices do not see each other, most likely there are two problems:

Multicasts are not forwarded

Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) uses multicast IPv4 address 239.255.255.250. The local switches must be able to forward such traffic. On a Cisco switch you run the following command to allow that:

no ip igmp snooping vlan 101

Firewall blocks UPnP traffic
