the respective WAN interface governed by this rule.

Port Triggering
Port triggering allows some applications to function correctly that would otherwise be partially
blocked by the firewall. Using this feature requires that you know the port numbers used by the
Application.
Once configured, Port Triggering operates as follows:
• A PC makes an outgoing connection using a port number defined in the Port Triggering table.
• This Router records this connection, opens the additional INCOMING port or ports associated
with this entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the PC.
