Nighthawk WiFi 7 Tri-Band Router Model RS600  
Application example: Port triggering for  
Internet Relay Chat  
Some application servers, such as FTP and IRC servers, send replies to multiple port  
numbers. Using port triggering, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports  
when a particular outgoing port starts a session.  
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at  
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port  
but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering,  
you can tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must  
also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.”  
The following sequence shows the effects of this port triggering rule:  
1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.  
2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination  
port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your  
computer then sends this request message to your router.  
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication  
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original  
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address  
and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.  
4. Noting your port triggering rule and observing the destination port number of 6667,  
your router creates another session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to  
your computer.  
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source  
port (for example, port 33333) as the destination port and also sends an “identify”  
message to your router with destination port 113.  
6. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 33333, it checks  
its session table to see if a session is active for port number 33333. Finding an active  
session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and  
sends this reply message to your computer.  
7. When your router receives the incoming message to destination port 113, it checks  
its session table and finds an active session for port 113 associated with your  
computer. The router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your  
computer’s IP address and forwards the message to your computer.  
8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually reaches its port triggering  
time-out period due to inactivity in the communications. The router then removes  
the session information from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer  
accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.
