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 requires specific outbound traf
fic to open the inbound ports, and the
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
• Port forwarding is always active and is never triggered.
