5.2 Network Mode: Standard Router
When the network mode is set to Standard Router, the logical network capability is as 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 (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.
