Port Triggering - Technicolor TC8717C Setup And User Manual

7.1.3 Port triggering

Introduction
Port triggering allows you to define a set of dynamic port forwarding rules that will be activated as soon as a device sends traffic
to the Internet over a specific port(s), the trigger port(s).
The difference compared to the port forwarding function described in
Port triggering rules will only be activated if a local device is sending traffic over one of the trigger ports. So there must be

outbound traffic first.
Port triggering rules forward the traffic to any device that has initiated the communication while port forwarding only forwards

to a specific fixed IP.
Port triggering rules allow you to translate the port numbers. This means that the incoming port can differ from the target

port.
