Code - Reject

Hi,
What will happen if I send a code-rej (catastrophic) for a
Configure-Req (the first one I receive)?

Thanks.

The Code-Reject is usually sent when the protocol or code number is
unknown to the implementation. If the peer realizes you can't provide
something it requires then it should reply with a Term-Request.

Right. It's illegal to send Code-Reject in reply to Configure-Request
(or any of the well-known codes). No implementation should ever do
that, and I can't say I've seen one that does.

Pppd doesn't look at the values, so it doesn't recognize the RXJ-
event here. It basically treats all received Code-Rejects as RXJ+.
