According to the following topology and configuration, R1 and R2 are connected through low-speed serial cables and PPP is used to encapsulate data link layer packets. When the Holdtime values of R1 and R2 are different, PPP negotiation and communication fail.
PPP negotiation relies on several parameters being matched on both ends of the link. One of these parameters is the holdtime value, which is used to determine how long a device should wait before declaring the link down if no keepalive messages are received. If R1 and R2 have different holdtime values, the discrepancy can cause the negotiation process to fail because the devices will not correctly synchronize their keepalive intervals, leading to premature link status changes or failures. Therefore, the statement is true; PPP negotiation and communication will fail if the holdtime values are different.
It's true, correct answer is A
this question repeated with answer A true
A is the correct answer.
Ans is True
Correct answer is A, Question is even repeated in past some page and its answer was "PPP Negotiation fails if Hold time values are different"
yup the answer is A
I agree with Gambito11
