Error description

  • When many network interfaces are used, and the interface
    connecting to a BOOTP client is at the end of the list,

    of sending the BOOTP reply it logs
    "BOOTPD: No route to 172.16.X.Y".
    

Local fix

  • Reduce the number of active network interfaces.

    information is passed to bootpd.
