It dynamically opens and closes ports to allow Internet traffic access to your LAN. In contrast, Port Forwarding opens a port and it remains open until you disable it. With Port Triggering, when the device detects outgoing traffic on previously defined ports, specific ports (also previously defined) are opened. This method is used for special applications such as interactive gaming, video conferencing programs, and file transfer in chat programs. The specific port forwarding rules you need to implement will be detailed in the applications' documentation. Refer to your software application documentation for more information on specific port settings.
