ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual

Without port triggering, this response would be treated as a new connection request rather than a response. As such, it would be handled in accordance with the port forwarding rules.

Note these restrictions with port triggering:

Only one PC can use a port triggering application at any time.

After a PC has finished using a port triggering application, there is a time-out period before the application can be used by another PC. This is required because the VPN firewall cannot detect when the application has terminated.

Note: For additional ways of allowing inbound traffic, see “Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding)” on page 4-5.

To add a port triggering Rule:

1.Select Security from the main menu and Port Triggering from the submenu. The Port Triggering screen displays.
