Re: iSCSI: key negotiation - Unrecognized value?

["Julian Satran" <Julian_Satran@il.ibm.com>]

Marjorie is correct - the text is (quite) explicit about requiring reject.
As for you example - the value to be answered by the target is the maximum acceptable - see the rules for numeric negotiations.

v10, pg 34, top:

 Any other key not understood by the responder may be ignored
 by the responder without affecting the basic function. However,
 the Text Response for a key not understood MUST be
 key=NotUnderstood.

v10, pg 33, middle:

 If a responder does not support or is not allowed to use
 all of the offered options with a specific originator,
 it may use the constant "Reject".
