8.5 The priority of the routing

As we know, there are many choices according to your requirement in the routing settings. As the following Table 8-3 indicates, the

smaller priority sequence would be executed first when running routing policy.

Priority

sequence

Routing Method Description

a、 LAN/DMZ/WAN local

bound network

b、 Static/RIP routing entry

of LAN/DMZ

Method a means the network which is attached to the interface. There is an example as

the Line-2 at the

Figure 8-2. Method b means the network which is defined by the static

route (please refer section

8.4.1) or learned from RIP method. Please notice the method

b is only for LAN/DMZ. Please refer the Line-1 at the

Figure 8-2.

The priority between RIP route and static route depends on its prefix. Whose prefix is

shortest, it will have the high priority.

Ex. The 210.10.1.0/24 has the higher priority then 210.10.1.1.0/16.

2. WAN policy route

The defined policy routing as section

8.4.2 indicated. There is an example as the Line-3

at the

Figure 8-2. Please notice that policy route can only work at the default WAN link.

Static/RIP routing entry of

WAN

It is the same as method b’s Priority. But this priority is only designated for WAN ports.

4. Default Route

Basically, if no other routing policy has been set, the traffic will go through the default

route. Please refer the Line-4 in the

Figure 8-2.
