Port trigger rules

Network > Firewall > Port Trigger
Port triggering is typically used for applications that require a range of ports to be
dynamically opened on request to an internal device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (trigger port) from a device on
your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will forward a
port or range of ports (match port) to the device on your network.
1. Log into your router management page (see
on page 8).
