Should RV016 VPN's connect when router is turned on?

[scfeigin1]

When my RV016 is restarted (for instance after a power failure) the gateway to gateway VPNs do not connect.  I have to go the router's VPN summary page and click on connect to get them started.  Is there any way for that to happen automatically?

In the advanced section of the tunnel configuration, if the DPD and Keep Alive options are checked, RV016 will try to reconnect automatically.

Thanks for the quick answer.   That solved my problem.  I have VPN's connecting 4 different routers from various companies, and I think the RV016 was the easiest to set up.  This was the only problem.  I think that the keep-alive and DPD settings are important enough to be on the main VPN setup page, not the advanced page.  I didn't even look at the advanced page because the VPN setup was so easy.
