Enabling or Disabling DHCP If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured via DHCP, you must reconfigure the print server to use a different configuration method: 1. You can use your Web browser to access the embedded Web server on the print server to choose the configuration method or to modify TCP/IP parameters. 2. You can use Telnet to enable or disable DHCP operation on the HP Jetdirect print server. When you disable a DHCP configuration via Telnet, the print server automatically releases any names and IP addresses associated with the DHCP server and re-initializes the TCP/IP protocol for the print server. At this point, the print server is unconfigured and begins to send BOOTP and RARP requests to acquire new (non-DHCP) configuration information. For DHCP configuration via Telnet, refer to "Using Telnet" in this chapter. 3. You can modify the TCP/IP parameters via HP Web Jetadmin. If you manually provide an IP address when disabling DHCP, the print server still releases its DHCP-provided IP address but does not send BOOTP and RARP configuration requests. Instead, it uses the configuration information you have provided. Therefore, if you provide the IP address you should also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and idle timeout. 3-42 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW

3-42 TCP/IP Configuration
ENWW
Enabling or Disabling DHCP
If you do not want your HP
Jetdirect print server configured via
DHCP, you must reconfigure the print server to use a different
configuration method:
1.
You can use your Web browser to access the embedded Web
server on the print server to choose the configuration
method or to modify TCP/IP parameters.
2.
You can use Telnet to enable or disable DHCP operation on
the HP Jetdirect print server. When you disable a DHCP
configuration via Telnet, the print server automatically
releases any names and IP addresses associated with the
DHCP server and re-initializes the TCP/IP protocol for the
print server. At this point, the print server is unconfigured
and begins to send BOOTP and RARP requests to acquire
new (non-DHCP) configuration information.
For DHCP configuration via Telnet, refer to “
Using Telnet
”
in this chapter.
3.
You can modify the TCP/IP parameters via HP Web
Jetadmin.
If you manually provide an IP address when disabling DHCP,
the print server still releases its DHCP-provided IP address but
does not send BOOTP and RARP configuration requests.
Instead, it uses the configuration information you have
provided.
Therefore, if you provide the IP address you
should also manually set all of the configuration
parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and
idle timeout.
