13.5 Port Triggering
If you select Firewall Settings in the top navigation menu and then select Port Triggering in the left submenu, the
following screen appears. You can define port triggering rules to dynamically open the firewall for specific
protocols or ports. The specified ports will be opened for incoming traffic. Port triggering can be used for dynamic
port forwarding configuration. By setting port triggering rules, you can allow inbound traffic to arrive at a specific
LAN host, using ports different than those used for the outbound traffic. This is called port triggering because the
outbound traffic triggers the ports to which inbound traffic is directed.
13.5.1 Setting Up a User Defined Port Triggering Rule
To set up a user-defined port triggering rule, in the Add drop-down list, select User Defined.
