Will the ports on my Belkin router open up automatically for Steam to play Team Fortress 2?

Question by hvakalia: Will the ports on my Belkin router open up automatically for Steam to play Team Fortress 2?
Belkin router model is F5D9230-4
I will be using a laptop which will be WIRED to my router

Will the ports automatically open?
Will the router ask me if I want to allow Steam access to these ports?
Or will I have to enter the ports manually?
Thanks!
