By using the setkey -D command, on my side the peer seems connected while on the other direction no connection has been established. Pinging the other side is not possible from my point. If the other peer (currently a CISCO 3662 ROUTER) pings my ip then the VPN connection is instantly established and the whole VPN is up-and-running giving me the ability now to ping the other peer. How can I avoid waiting for a human on the other size to ping me and have the vpn successfully connect without human intervention?
