Meaning: A Bootp request with a station address length not equal to 48 bits was
received. Station addresses that are not 48 bits long are not supported.
dropped BOOTP pkt, bad max relay hop count
Meaning: A Bootp request packet was discarded because its hop count was
decremented to zero. The hop count is not the same as IP’s Time To Live
field. The Bootp request may have been relayed by other relay agents
such that the packet is being looped.
Action: Increase the hop count (the maximum relay hops parameter) in IP’s
Bootp configuration, or determine why a loop exists for Bootp requests
being relayed.
dropped BOOTP reply, no matching request
Meaning: The Bootp reply received had no initial request relayed. The Bootp
server could have incorrectly addressed the reply or could have
retransmitted the reply.
