Configuring the PPP Restart Timers
You can configure a restart timer for the Link Control Protocol (LCP) and Network Control Protocol (NCP) components of a PPP session. You can configure the LCP restart timer on interfaces with PPP, PPP TCC, PPP over Ethernet, PPP over ATM, and PPP over Frame Relay encapsulations. You can configure the NCP restart timer on interfaces with PPP and PPP TCC encapsulations and on multilink PPP bundle interfaces.
To configure the restart timer for the NCP component of a PPP session, include the ncp-restart-timer statement, and specify the number of milliseconds.
To configure the restart timer for the LCP component of a PPP session, include the lcp-restart-timer statement, and specify the number of milliseconds:
You can include these statements at the following hierarchy levels:
- [edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number ppp-options]
- [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number ppp-options]
To monitor the configuration, issue the show interfaces interface-name command. Configured options are displayed in the PPP parameters field for the physical interface.
