6.4.4.2 Port Triggering

Some applications require that specific port(s) in the Router's firewall be opened for

access by the remote parties. Port Trigger dynamically opens up the 'Open Ports' in the

firewall when an application on the LAN initiates a TCP/UDP connection to a remote

party using the 'Triggering Ports'. The Router allows the remote party from the WAN

side to establish new connections back to the application on the LAN side using the

'Open Ports'. (Figure 6-13-1, 6-13-2)
