In the IP Address Pool section, set up the IP address range by entering the beginning IP address in the Start Address box and entering the ending IP address in the End Address box. Also enter the subnet mask for the subnet to which the IP address pool applies. The starting and ending IP addresses define the end points of the address pool assigned to this scope.

Typically used to identify the name of a person to contact for support of this device.

Typically used to specify a phone or extension number to call for support of this device.

Configuring the print server
for BOOTP configuration
The factory-default state of the HP Jetdirect print server allows it to use BOOTP services automatically, so no further
action is necessary.
How the default configuration works
Changing the BOOTP/DHCP configuration method
Setting up the DHCP server
The procedure to set up the DHCP server depends on the operating system on that system. (It may be a system other
than those using the HP Jetdirect print services.)
UNIX
●
Windows
NT 4.0
●
Windows
2000
●
UNIX servers:
For instructions on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the
bootpd
man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file
dhcptab
may be located in the
/etc
directory. Since HP-UX
presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends
that you set all print server lease durations to
infinite
. This ensures that the print server IP addresses remain static until
dynamic name services are provided.
Windows NT 4.0 servers:
You will set up a pool--
scope
-- of IP addresses that the server can assign or lease to a requester.
Note:
To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all print servers be
assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
NT Procedure:
Note:
In addition to the general steps provided here, see also the instructions supplied with your DHCP
software.
On the Windows NT server, open the
Program Manager
window and double-click the
Network Administrator
icon.
1.
Double-click the
DHCP Manager
icon to open this window.
2.
Select
Server
and select
Server Add
.
3.
Type the server IP address, then click
[OK]
to return to the
DHCP Manager
window.
4.
In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select
Scope
and select
Create
.
5.
Select
Set up the IP Address Pool
. In the
IP Address Pool
section, set up the IP address range by entering the
beginning IP address in the
Start Address
box and entering the ending IP address in the
End Address
box. Also
enter the subnet mask for the subnet to which the IP address pool applies. The starting and ending IP addresses
define the end points of the address pool assigned to this scope.
Note:
If desired, you can exclude ranges of IP addresses within a scope.
