Hello,

LAN A - LAN B
| |
0-0- LAN C

Routers A and B are 1841's w/security IOS. Router C is 1751 without. Have IPSec tunnel between A&B. Have GRE tunnel w/RIP routing between B and C. A and C are connected via point-to-point T1 over two more routers.

Traffic from A TO B traverses the IPSec tunnel. Traffic from B TO A goes to C then over the point-to-point eventually to LAN A.

I don't want it to! What makes it prefer routing over Crypto Map? Is there a way to change that?

thanks!
David
 
Hello
Maybe there's a static route that make's traffic from B goes through C.Posting a configuration of router C would be a good start.

Do these
show ip protocols
show ip route
show ip rip database

and see what the admin distances are. This will tell you where the route is coming from in the table.
