Set Up Port Triggers - SURFboard SBG6580 User Manual

Set Up Port Triggers

You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on your home
network (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 set the firewall
protection level to Low or Off to allow traffic through those custom ports. See
Protection
