ASA routing not sticking

[akblackwel]

Basically I have a hub and spoke set up like this.

ASA5505 10.40.46.1/24-------\

                                          ---ASA5510 192.168.199.1/24

SW TZ100 10.40.45.1----  ----/

I have a route in the asa5505 10.40.46.1/24 to expose it to the network of 10.40.45.1/24.

Seems to work, except that if we ever reboot or bounce the tunnel, the route to 10.40.45.1/24 goes down untioll I go into the asa5505@10.40.46.1 and run a

ping inside 10.40.45.1

Then the tunnel comes up.

I'd like to avoide this in the future, anyone have any ideas?

There is a way for you to "nail" the tunnel up but I don't know why you would. The tunnel comes up because interesting traffic is seen and will go down if nothing is going through the tunnel.

Brent,

Well, my problem is that I do have interesting traffic flowing from the 46 network to the 45. But if the tunnel goes down or the router gets rebooted, no amount of traffic from 46 to 45 brings the tunnel up untill I log into the asa on 46 and ping inside 45. Then the tunnel comes up.

The interesting traffic is not bringing up the tunnel.
