58. 50 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router JR6150 How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering Any computer on your network can use port triggering although only one computer can use it at a time Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network Port triggering does not require that you know the computer s IP address in advance The IP address is captured automatically Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer s IP address during configuration and the IP address can never change Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports and the triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers You can configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network For example you might want to make a local web server FTP server or game server visible and available to the Internet In addition to servers for specific applications you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded Before starting you must determine which type of service application or game you want to provide and the local IP address of the computer that should provide the service The server computer must always have the same IP ad

However some application servers such as FTP and IRC servers send replies to multiple port numbers Using the port triggering function of your router you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port originates a session An example is Internet Relay Chat IRC Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667 The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port but also sends an identify message to your computer on port 113 Using port triggering you can tell the router When you initiate a session with destination port 6667 you must also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer Using steps similar to the preceding example the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined 1 You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer 2 Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port number of 6667 the standard port number for an IRC server process Your computer then sends this request message to your router 3 Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the IRC server Your router stores the original information performs Network Address Translation NAT on the source address and port and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server 4 Noting your port
