5.2 Network Mode: Standard Router
When the network mode is set to Standard Router, the logical network capability is
shown in the diagram below:
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 (the Servers > DHCP Server
page), then the DHCP server sends its LAN IP address as the DHCP router (gateway)
option so that LAN clients know to use the Allworx server as the router to the WAN. WAN
hosts wanting to connect to LAN hosts needs to be configured with a network route
using the Allworx server’s WAN address as a gateway to the LAN.
