Configure Port Triggering

Port triggering allows some applications running on a LAN network to be available to external applications that would otherwise be partially blocked by the firewall. Using the port-triggering feature requires that you know the port numbers used by the application.

Once configured, port triggering operates as follows:

1.A computer makes an outgoing connection using a port number that is defined in the Port Triggering Rules table.

2.The UTM records this connection, opens the additional incoming port or ports that are associated with the rule in the port triggering table, and associates them with the computer.

3.The remote system receives the computer’s request and responds using the incoming port or ports that are associated with the rule in the port triggering table on the UTM.

4.The UTM matches the response to the previous request and forwards the response to the computer.

Without port triggering, the response from the external application would be treated as a new connection request rather than a response to a request from the LAN network. As such, it would be handled in accordance with the inbound port-forwarding rules, and most likely would be blocked.

Note these restrictions on port triggering:

•Only one computer can use a port-triggering application at any time.

•After a computer has finished using a port-triggering application, there is a short time-out period before the application can be used by another computer. This time-out period is required so the UTM can determine that the application has terminated.

Note: For additional ways of allowing inbound traffic, see Inbound Rules

(Port Forwarding) on page 133.
