remote setppppretrytimer

Enables or disables the PPP retry timer for a remote. The default is off (0).

The PPP retry timer is useful in a network where several routers are connected to the same PPP server. If the link to the PPP server goes down, all PPP sessions on the connected routers go down. Then, when the link comes back up, all routers attempt reconnection at the same time and this could crash the PPP server. To solve this problem, turn on the PPP retry timer for each remote. Then, when the link comes back up, each router waits a random time before attempting reconnection.

To see the current setting of the retry timer for a remote, use the remote list command and check the output line:
