vpn initiator

[carl_townshend]

Hi all, Can anyone tell me how I set my asa to be the initiator of the ipsec vpn site to site tunnel ?

Hi,

There is no specific configuration to enable this. Provided your tunnel works and is not the hub in an EzVPN solution, the tunnel can be initiated by your ASA.

Are you having an issue with initiating the vpn tunnel?

Note that in this case, the peer should be configured as "answer-only", otherwise you have an unsupported setup.

The above config will mean that your end will only initiate and will not be the responder.

Is this what you are looking for?
