The purpose of IP-Config is to provide a minimal network configuration
as to allow a network booting feature.  It will not completely initialize
a network environment suitable for little more than the NFS connection itself.

The IP-Config sends requests on all configured interfaces and accepts the

You need to run the real user-land network configuration scripts and utilities
to properly configure a network on any system.  It should also be done even
when you are using IP-Config and network booting.
