Cisco Site-to-Site re-establish 2 minute delay

So I have tried to identify why, if I drop my site-to-site VPN tunnel at the remote end, and I see the IKE DELETE come through, it takes 60 - 120 seconds to actually start trying to bring the tunnel back up again if I have a constant ping going?

I have put various debug options on but not really sure what could be causing that.

What are the two devices and what software version are they running.

They they have matching encryption domains?

One is a Draytek 2830.  The Cisco is an ASA 5516-X running:

Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 9.6(1)
Device Manager Version 7.6(1)

The tunnel itself works when it is established from the Draytek end, no delay.  However, if we drop the tunnel where we see the IKE DELETE or equivalent message, then ping the remote side, it can take up to two minutes for the tunnel to actually start requesting as the initiator. 

I did a show crypto isakmp sa but there was no SA so this would suggest the Cisco should be trying to recreate it straight away.

Just a stray thought.  

After you clear the tunnel, rather than bring it up with a ping from a workstation inside somewhere, try bringing it up with packet tracer.

packet-tracer input inside icmp <IP> 8 0 <destination>

That way you can be assured that the device forming the tunnel is seeing interesting traffic.  

You could also use capture on the inside interface to prove that the 'interesting' traffic is being received.  Your debug shows nothing between the tear down at 11:39:08 and the interesting traffic at 11:41:16. One wonders what is going on during that time... Interesting packets or no?

So if it works immediately, then check for route convergence on either end (assuming the ping host is a couple of hops away from the firewall).  I'm not aware of any VPN tunnel hold down timers now routing protocols are a different matter.

I will try that again when I'm back at the office next week.  Unfortunately, I've been out and about last week and this so can't test that yet.  I did stumble across something else that "cured" it but I will give this ago to see if this shows up why it cured it.

As mentioned previously, pretty convinced that wanted traffic was being sent.  I think I even did a packet trace at the time and saw a drop because the tunnel was not "up" though I want to be sure again.

Here is the debug information from me clearing out the SA to it reestablishing whilst a ping was already going.  It destroys the tunnel at Mar 17 11:39:08 and then reestablishes it two minutes later at Mar 17 11:41:16

That 2 minute break is suggesting the ASA did not have any interesting traffic.  Check your crypto domain and NAT rules.

Clearly that can't be the case or it wouldn't both to initiate?  Besides, the domain and NAT rules are correct as traffic passes fine once up, but understand your suggestion.  Something I had already checked.
