PORT TRIGGERING
./ PORT TRIGGERING
Port triggering can be described as dynamic port forwarding. By
setting port triggering rules, inbound trac arrives at a specific
network host using ports that are dierent than those used for
outbound trac. The outbound trac triggers the ports where the
inbound trac is directed.
For example, a gaming server is accessed using UDP protocol on
port 2222. The gaming server then responds by connecting the
user using UDP on port 3333, when a gaming session is initiated.
In this case, port triggering must be used since it conflicts with the
following default firewall settings:
• Firewall blocks inbound trac by default.
• Server replies to your Fios Home Router IP, and the connection
is not sent back to the host since it is not part of a session.
To resolve the conflict, a port triggering entry must be defined,
which allows inbound trac on UDP port 3333 only after a network
host generated trac to UDP port 2222. This results in your
Fios Home Router accepting the inbound trac from the gaming
server and sending it back to the network host which originated
the outgoing trac to UDP port 2222.
