Riverbed Steelhead no longer showing up as a peer and is not optimizing traffic

I have five Riverbed Steelheads. One 550H and the HQ and four 250H's at the remote sites. I noticed that one remove site is no longer optimizing traffic and when I look at the peer list, it is missing. How do I add that site back to the peer list and potentially fix the issue with traffic not being optimized?

Thanks,

Justin

I am looking at the in path IP of the SH that is having trouble. That is 192.168.2.230. The primary interface IP is 192.168.2.231. I am able to ping both IP's from a server that is at the HQ office. I am assuming that would mean the SH's can talk to each other? I am not sure how else to test that?

I manage the Cisco firewalls and there has been no change in them. I remember when I initially set these things up, they had me make changes to the firewall so that they could auto discover and I left that configuration in place.

Any other thoughts on why they are not peering? All four other SH's are peered together and optimizing fine.

Thanks,

Justin

Make sure interesting traffic is generated, then the peering should happen automatically and quickly.

The other possibility I forgot to mention (may be not reqd in this case) was if someone doing passthrough by mistake.
