3.      Apply Commands

Send the resultant commands to the ASAv. There will be informational errors since some IKEv1 crypto map settings have been deprecated.

Select “Send” again and wait for the ASAv configuration to load.

4.      Save Configuration

Once the configuration has been applied to the ASAv, navigate to Configuration in the top left, then select “Site-to-Site VPN” in the lower left-hand corner. Expand the Connection Profiles section. Ensure that “Bypass interface access lists for inbound VPN sessions” is checked. This will enable VPNs to pass traffic in both directions. Verify that the settings listed on this page in the “Connection Profiles” section look correct.
