Command Groups
pppoe lcp echo-failure
This command sets the Link Control Protocol (LCP) echo timeout for the PPPoE tunnel.
Syntax
pppoe lcp echo-failure <timeout>
timeout is the number of timeouts allowed. Range: 1‐10
Default Setting
3
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
Echo requests are used to verify the integrity of the link through the PPPoE tunnel. Devices at
either end of the link can issue an echo‐request. Devices receiving an echo‐request must return
an echo‐reply.
If a link is busy with large data transfers, the echo‐reply may not be issued in a timely manner
causing the link to timeout. If you experience this kind of problem, try extending the echo
interval or timeout.
