ppp lcp delay
To configure the link control protocol (LCP) delay timer for initiating LCP negotiations after a link
connects and to configure the router to discard incoming setup requests until the LCP delay timer
expires, use the ppp lcp delay command in interface configuration mode. To disable the LCP delay
timer, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
Configure an LCP delay timer to allow the peer device a short amount of time to send the first packet
after the PPP link comes up. If the LCP delay timer expires before a CONFREQ is received from the
peer, the router can initiate LCP negotiations.
after the PPP link comes up. If the LCP delay timer expires before a CONFREQ is received from the
peer, the router can initiate LCP negotiations.
The LCP delay timer is applied only to incoming connections. PPP does not delay for outbound
connections or connections where PPP cannot determine a direction.

seconds
Delay, in seconds, before initiating LCP negotiations. Valid values for the
seconds argument range from 0 to 255. The default value is 2 seconds.

random
max-delay-seconds
max-delay-seconds
(Optional) Specifies that a random amount of additional time will be added to
the configured LCP delay timer. The additional amount of time will not exceed
the number of seconds specified with the max-delay-seconds argument. Valid
values for max-delay-seconds range from 1 to 255. Random delay is disabled
by default.

discard
(Optional) Specifies that incoming configuration requests (CONFREQs) will
be discarded until the LCP delay timer has expired. CONFREQs are not
discarded by default.
