Port Triggering Rules Menu; Adding A New Rule - NETGEAR WGT624 Reference Manual

Port Triggering Rules Menu

The Port Triggering Rules Menu lists the current rules:
• Enable - Indicates if the rule is enabled or disabled. Generally, there is no need to disable a rule
unless it interferes with some other function, such as Port Forwarding.
• Name - The name for this rule.
• Outgoing Ports - The port or port range for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using one
of these ports will "Trigger" this rule.
• Incoming Ports - 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 forwarded to the PC which
triggered this rule.
