RV180W IPsec tunnel don’t connect automatically after reboot

[Alain.Knaepen]

I have a cisco RV180W with a IPsec tunnel to the head office. The tunnel is working good, but if I reboot the RV180W, the tunnel don’t reconnect automatically, I need to go in the admin interface to IPsec Connections Status and press on Connect.

Is there a way to make the tunnel connect automatically?

Hi Alain, you may try to enable dead peer detection

Dead peer detection is enabled, so that's not the problem.

My memory does not serve me well but if there is a keep-alive option this usually is the toggle for the vpn to reconnect automatically. DPD is similar but not the same.

Normally in the cisco vpn routers there is a keep-alive option, but strange enough in the RV180W that option is not available.
