On a device running barrier breaker I need to set a pppoe auth timeout value as currently have the following on constant loop

I've tried setting various implementations of following values in /etc/ppp/options and /etc/config/network but none appear to have any effect.

option keepalive '3 2'
option persist '1'
option holdoff '5'
option maxfail '0’

Basically I just want to try auth 2 times then wait 10 minutes before trying again for a further 2 times and so on.

First of all, are you sure you can connect at all?
What happens, for example, if you stop the interface, wait 10 minutes and only then restart it?
I'm asking so we don't chase the wrong problem

EDIT: /etc/config/network for PPPOE connections apparently only supports "keepalive", the other option should be fed directly to ppp, without the "option" keyword.

Yes if i set the correct password it connects fine. I'm accounting for incorrect password.

If I if down the interface it's bought up again automatically on the next 'cycle'

So the remaining issue is the reconnect cycle that's too short, right? Then try splliting the options this way:

/etc/ppp/options:

persist 1
holdoff 5
maxfail 0

/etc/config/network:

config interface 'wan'
        option proto 'pppoe'
        option keepalive '3 2'
