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
 
try checking your 'show ip route'

is RIP the only routing protocol used?
