When the network mode is set to Standard Router, the logical network capability is as shown in the diagram
below:

LAN
The server acts like an ordinary two port router with the server routing packets between the LAN and WAN
interfaces. No NAT or firewall functionality is enabled. All LAN hosts are visible on the WAN. If the DHCP
server is enabled (see the Servers / DHCP Server page), then the DHCP server will send its LAN IP address
as the DHCP router (gateway) option so that LAN clients will know to use the Allworx
server as the router to
the WAN. WAN hosts wanting to connect to LAN hosts will need to be configured with a network route using
the Allworx
server’s WAN address as a gateway to the LAN.
