Setting Up Port Triggers - Arris SURFboard G54 DOCSIS 3.1 Wi-Fi User Manual

Setting up Port Triggers

You can use Port Triggers to set up your G54 to monitor outgoing traffic on specific ports on
your home network. Port Triggering can be useful for some applications such as video
conferencing, online chatting, and online gaming that may require specific port numbers
with bi-directional traffic to function properly.
Note: If your G54 firewall is enabled and custom port triggers are set up, then you
must configure the firewall to allow traffic through those custom ports. For more
information see
To configure Port Triggers:
1. From the G54 Web Manager screen, click the Advanced menu link.
2. Click Port Triggering from the Advanced submenu options list to display the Port
Triggering Configuration screen.
