Hi PopinatorWV,
For me, it is very unlikely for the IPSec VPN setup to suddenly switch to SSL VPN setup without having a person reconfigure the settings of both firewall(s). Are you the only person that has access to both firewall(s)?
To re-establish the IPSec VPN tunnel, you will need to reconfigure everything. Otherwise, if ever you have backed-up the configuration of both firewall(s) when IPSec VPN was working fine, then you may just restore the configuration file to the firewall(s).
Both IPSec VPN and SSL VPN have their own advantages depending on the requirements of the network or client(s). Personally, I prefer IPSec VPN since I find it easier to set it up.
