Note that the configuration data contains "tags" to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings. The tags are identified in the following table. Table 3.1 Bootptab File Tags nodename The name of the peripheral. This name identifies an entry point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral. nodename must be the first field in an entry. (In the example above, nodename is "picasso".) hn The host name tag. This tag causes the BOOTP daemon to download the host name to the HP Jetdirect print server. The host name will be printed on the Jetdirect configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName request by a network application. ht The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server, set this to ether (for Ethernet). This tag must precede the ha tag. vm The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this parameter to rfc1048. ha The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address is the link-level, or station address of the HP Jetdirect print server. It can be found on the HP Jetdirect configuration page as the LAN HW ADDRESS. On HP Jetdirect external print servers, it is printed on a label attached to the print server. ip The IP address tag (required). This address will be the HP Jetdirect print server's IP address. gw The gateway IP address tag. This address identifies the IP address of the default gateway (router) that the print server will use for communications with other subnets. sm The subnet mask tag. The subnet mask will be used by the HP Jetdirect print server to identify the portions of an IP address that specify the network/subnetwork number and the host address. lg The syslog server's IP address tag. It specifies the server that the HP Jetdirect print server sends syslog messages to. T144 A vendor-specific tag that specifies the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file. Maximum length of the path name is 33 characters. The path name must be in double quotes (for example, "pathname"). On HP-UX systems, /usr/tftpdir is prepended to the path. For file format information, refer to "TFTP Configuration File Entries". ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 3-31

TCP/IP Configuration 3-31
ENWW
Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the
various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings. The tags
are identified in the following table.
Table 3.1
Bootptab File Tags
nodename
The name of the peripheral. This name identifies an entry point to
a list of parameters for a specific peripheral.
nodename
must be
the first field in an entry. (In the example above,
nodename
is
“picasso”.)
hn
The host name tag. This tag causes the BOOTP daemon to
download the host name to the HP Jetdirect print server. The host
name will be printed on the Jetdirect configuration page, or
returned on an SNMP sysName request by a network application.
ht
The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server, set this
to
ether
(for Ethernet). This tag must precede the
ha
tag.
vm
The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this parameter to
rfc1048
.
ha
The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address is the
link-level, or station address of the HP Jetdirect print server. It can
be found on the HP Jetdirect configuration page as the
LAN HW
ADDRESS
. On HP Jetdirect external print servers, it is printed on
a label attached to the print server.
ip
The IP address tag (required). This address will be the HP Jetdirect
print server’s IP address.
gw
The gateway IP address tag. This address identifies the IP address
of the default gateway (router) that the print server will use for
communications with other subnets.
sm
The subnet mask tag. The subnet mask will be used by the HP
Jetdirect print server to identify the portions of an IP address that
specify the network/subnetwork number and the host address.
lg
The syslog server’s IP address tag. It specifies the server that the
HP Jetdirect print server sends syslog messages to.
T144
A vendor-specific tag that specifies the relative path name of the
TFTP configuration file. Maximum length of the path name is 33
characters. The path name must be in double quotes (for example,
“pathname”
). On HP-UX systems,
/usr/tftpdir
is prepended
to the path. For file format information, refer to “
TFTP
Configuration File Entries
“.
