8.4.3 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.

WAN policy route will redirect the traffic to the specific WAN
interface if the traffic matches the policy.
Static route that is explicitly configured and entered into the routing
table. Static routes take precedence over routes chosen by dynamic
routing protocols.
Routing information protocol (RIP) teaches routers on a wide area
network which routers have access to which addresses. This
information is kept in a routing table on each router. As routers
communicate with each other, they all update their routing tables to
include each others' routing table information.
The priority between RIP route and static route depends on its prefix.
Whose prefix is shortest, it will have the high priority. If the traffic is
not from the WAN interface, the priority will be static/RIP route >
default route.
A routing table entry which is used to direct packets addressed to
networks not explicitly listed in the routing table. Basically, if no
other routing has been set, the traffic will go through the default route.
