Why does ip route advertisement from GRE tunnel take precedence over physical interface? I am trying to understand the concept. Once GRE tunnel is enabled, routing will be via the tunnel instead of the physical interface.
Router B is advertising the 166.141.185.0/24 subnet to Router A.
When tunnel is shutdown at router B: (routing via physical interface)
RouterA#sh ip route | i 166.141.185 D 166.141.185.0/24 [90/1792000] via 106.101.103.46, 00:11:41, Vlan103
When tunnel is enabled at router B: (routing via tunnel)
RouterA#sh ip route | i 166.141.185 D 166.141.185.0/24 [90/1538560] via 106.101.103.50, 00:06:34, Tunnel50
Router A

Becasue the eigrp metric cost of the tunnel is being calculated as a better path

Oh thanks, didn't notice the metric value. The tunnel config has a delay of 10, so that could be the reason. Thanks!
