Port Triggering

Port Triggering allows you to do port forwarding without setting a fixed PC. By setting Port Triggering rules, you can allow inbound traffic to arrive at a specific LAN host, using ports different than those used for the outbound traffic. This is called port triggering since the outbound traffic triggers to which ports inbound traffic is directed.

If you want to forward ports to a PC with a static IP address, see Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding.

To add a new Port Triggering rule, click Add and fill in the fields below. To remove the last rule, click Delete.
