Port Forwarding and Port Triggering
Port forwarding and port triggering are advanced features that affect the behavior of the
firewall in your router. In the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, you can make local
computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or
HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like
CU-SeeMe).
Port forwarding is designed for FTP, Web server, or other server-based services. Once
port forwarding is set up, requests from the Internet are forwarded to the correct server.
Port triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the router detects traffic on the specified
outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and
triggers the incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the
triggering computer. Port triggering allows requests from the Internet only after a
designated port is triggered. Port triggering applies to chat and Internet games.

1.
