| 444At some locations, the serial link may not be reliable, and carrier 445may be lost at inappropriate times. It is possible to have 446.Nm 447redial should carrier be unexpectedly lost during a session. 448.Bd -literal -offset indent 449set reconnect timeout ntries 450.Ed 451 452This command tells ppp to re-establish the connection 453.Ar ntries 454times on loss of carrier with a pause of 455.Ar timeout 456seconds before each try. For example, 457.Bd -literal -offset indent 458set reconnect 3 5 459.Ed 460 461tells 462.Nm 463that on an unexpected loss of carrier, it should wait 464.Ar 3 465seconds before attempting to reconnect. This may happen up to 466.Ar 5 467times before 468.Nm 469gives up. The default value of ntries is zero (no redial). Care 470should be taken with this option. If the local timeout is slightly 471longer than the remote timeout, the reconnect feature will always be 472triggered (up to the given number of times) after the remote side 473times out and hangs up. 474 |
