OK it all depends on when you use dynamic crypto maps and the rule is that dynamic maps are used for remote users who need occasional access and for whom you do not have all the necessary information to create a staic crypto map, sich as IP address.
So a. You always create dynamic crypto maps with higher numbers. b. Because a dynamic map does not contain all the information necessary for an SA to be formed, if an outbound request falls through to a dynaminc map then it will be dropped. An inbound request can fall throiugh to a dynamic map and the proicess can begin for to form an SA Does this make sense for you ?
