Add A Port Triggering Rule - NETGEAR D7000 User Manual

Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7000
modem router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that you specify in your rule and forwards that incoming
traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer. Port triggering
can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they are no longer needed.
Note If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance, enable Universal Plug and
Play (UPnP). See
