9.3 Firewall – Port Triggers
Port triggering lets you set the router to watch outgoing traffic for specific port numbers,
remember the IP address of the sending computer, and then route the data back to the sending
computer when the requested data returns. This is typically used for online gaming and online
chat applications.
Port triggers allow virtual servers to be allowed when an outbound port is accessed.
Click the Add button to add a port trigger. Select a port trigger from the list and click the Delete
button to delete a port trigger.
Port Triggers:
Description – Enter a name for the port trigger.
Inbound Port – Enter the inbound port range for the port trigger. It should be the same range as
the target port.
Format – Sets the format for the port. Options are TCP, UDP, or BOTH.

inbound port.
