IPSEC VPN negotiation without traffic

ghostrider — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 20:06:54 GMT

Hello Experts

Is there any option to initiate a IPSEC VPN without passing actual traffic. Like in Juniper SRX, there is option "establish-immediately" or in Juniper Netscreen "rekey" option

Regards,

The commands

test vpn ike-sa gateway [name]

test vpn ipsec-sa tunnel [name]

will bring up the tunnel without having anything on the other end pass network traffic if that is what you are looking for. If you want this to happen automatically you would likely need to script it with the api.
