Figure 5-20: Port Triggering
Once configured, operation is as follows:
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection using a destination port number
defined in the Trigger Port field.
2. The router records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated
with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.
3. When necessary the external host will be able to connect to the local host using
one of the ports defined in the
Incoming Ports
field.
Trigger Port -
The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port
will "Trigger" this rule.
Trigger Protocol -
The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either
TCP
,
UDP
, or

Incoming Ports Range -
The port or port range used by the remote system when it
responds to the outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be

2000-2038, 2050-2051, 2085, 3010-3030.
