There is a way to configure keepalives to keep the tunnels active, but that takes some configuration, and I'm not 100% it's always supported by the remote endpoints?
It's always possible there is an OID that I've simply never been able to find that reports this 'Down reason,' but I'm going to guess there's a decent chance that your circumstances (a backup device) might be different (though, still helpful!).
Yes, you're correct. The tunnel is going "down" because of an idle timeout, which in my opinion, shouldn't warrant an alarm in LM. I could change the timeouts on the tunnels in the ASA but I don't really see a good reason too. IMHO if there is no traffic going through the tunnel than it should shutdown until it's needed again. I just don't need an alarm telling me the tunnel shutdown because of an idle timeout. I don't think there is any OID that gives LM that info though and I'm not sure how one could do it programmatically either.
