Configure Port Triggering

Port triggering allows some applications running on a LAN network to be available to external
applications that would otherwise be partially blocked by the firewall. Using the port triggering
feature requires that you know the port numbers used by the application.
Note: Port triggering is supported for IPv4 devices only.
Once configured, port triggering operates as follows:
1. A computer makes an outgoing connection using a port number that is defined in the
Port Triggering Rules table.
2. The VPN firewall records this connection, opens the additional incoming port or ports that
are associated with the rule in the port triggering table and associates them with the
computer.
3. The remote system receives the computer's request and responds using the incoming port
or ports that are associated with the rule in the port triggering table on the VPN firewall.
4. The VPN firewall matches the response to the previous request and forwards the response
to the computer.
