RE: iSCSI: Login Request error

["Carlos Rimola" <crimola@silverbacksystems.com>]

My understanding:

For question 1 - only Login request/responses are allowed before full
feature phase (no Logout since you are not logged in).

For question 2 - the correct response would either be Reject or Yes/No
(is ok to reply with an admissible value to an invalid/unrecognized
offer).  NotUnderstood should only be used when the key itself is not
recognized (e.g. ImmediateData misspelled like ImediateData).  The spec
explicitly states that NotUnderstood MUST NOT be used for known keys
(those defined in chapter 11).

I believe any command other than login (or logout?) is invalid before
you
hit full-feature phase. Thus any other such command would count as 020b.

Either Reject or NotUnderstood come to mind.

Take care,
