Set Up Port Triggers - SURFboard SBG6700-AC User Manual

Set Up Port Triggers

You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on the LAN. This
allows special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to
function properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some
messaging program features may require these special settings.
Note: If you enable the firewall and set up custom port triggers, then you must configure the
firewall to allow traffic through those custom ports. See
for more information.

1. From any web manager screen, click the Advanced menu button on the SBG6700-AC Web
