The following routing table (from a Windows regular host) is supposed to be working (it’s not from my machine, it’s from a book I’m reading) but I don’t understand why.
The way I understand it is that the two highlighted routes do the following:
- Send, by default, all packets to the
10.12.14.1gateway, priority25 - Send all packets for IPs on the
10.12.14.0/24LAN directly on the local LAN, priority281.
What bothers me is that 25 is a stronger priority than 281, so all packets for IPs on my local LAN should use the default route, and thus be sent to the default gateway rather than directly to the LAN.
What am I missing?
