Route selection query on cisco router

[knaik99]

if  Cisco router has connected route as 10.10.10.0/24 and eigrp route as 10.10.10.0/30 in its routing table and we want to go to user 10.10.10.2 then Cisco router would select which route ?

as per me ,selected route  is eigrp route due to prefix length

please share explanation and Cisco article also on such issue.

Hello,

you are correct, longest prefix wins.

Check the article below:

friend for your case and for feature use 
show ip route 10.10.10.2 
this give you exactly the path the router will elect to forward the packet.

Correct longest match is always preferred before admin distance.
