Does VyOS IPsec VPN have ‘bi-directional’ as a connection- type. I only see initiate and respond. What if I want any of the endpoints to be able to initiate. How would I go about with that?
Just set both to initiate 
If both sides are set to Initiate, who will respond when one side initiates? its quite confusing.
Am new to VyOS, used Cisco before and these were viable connection settings:
Initiate -> Respond
Bidirectional <-> Bidirectional
I stand to be corrected
Thanks
One side is a VyOS router and the other side of the tunnel is a Cisco ASA firewall
I am pretty sure when one is set to Initiate, it will respond as well.
The setting of both sides to initiate does not work with Vyos <-> Cisco ASA combination. I have tried it
Why it does not works? Did you research logs from both sides?
