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
