By default, physical interfaces are disabled (shutdown) and are in Layer 3 mode. To place an interface in mode,

command. By default, the interface is shut down when the portmode hybrid and switchport
are enabled.
The tunnel interface operates as an ECMP (equal cost multipath) only when the next hop to the tunnel destination
is over a physical interface. If you select any other interface as the next hop to the tunnel destination, the tunnel
interface does not operate as an ECMP.
