-===== Triggered Port Forwarding =====
+====== Triggered Port Forwarding ======
 Port Triggering is a dynamic form of Port Forwarding. Ports are opened when they are needed and closed when not in use. As a result, triggered ports are more secure than static (manually configured) forwarded ports.
 With port triggering, an application on a LAN host initiates traffic towards the Internet. The Triggering function remembers the traffic pattern. When that same pattern is identified as incoming from the WAN, the appropriate inbound port-mapping occurs. Traffic is then allowed through and forwarded to the correct host/port. After a few minutes of inactivity, triggered ports are closed.

If it found packets within the 3000-4000 port range which satisfied the matching criteria, it would automatically enable port forwarding inbound in the 5000-6000 port range towards the LAN IP address that originated the request.
