q By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000 and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your operating system supports DHCP.) Note Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, see the bootpd man page. On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be loaded 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 print server IP addresses remain static until such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are provided. q By a network-based server using RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) answering the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP method only allows you to configure the IP address. q By using the arp and ping commands from your system. q By setting configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your UNIX system to the HP JetDirect print server using the default IP address. The default IP address takes effect two minutes after the printer is turned on (if none of the other configuration methods have been used). (Older products may take longer for the IP address to take effect.) The default IP address is 192.0.0.192. If Telnet is used, the print server saves the configuration even if the printer or print server is turned off. 24 TCP/IP Configuration EN

By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This
protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE
Linux, Windows NT/2000 and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your
network operating system manuals to verify that your operating
system supports DHCP.)
Note
Linux and UNIX systems: For more information,
see the bootpd man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration
file (dhcptab) may be loaded 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 print server IP addresses remain static until
such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are
provided.
By a network-based server using RARP (Reverse Address
Resolution Protocol) answering the print server's RARP request
and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP
method only allows you to configure the IP address.
By using the
arp
and
ping
commands from your system.
By setting configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set
configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your
UNIX system to the HP JetDirect print server using the default
IP
address. The default IP
address takes effect two minutes after
the printer is turned on (if none of the other configuration
methods have been used). (Older products may take longer for
the IP address to take effect.) The default IP address is
192.0.0.192. If Telnet is used, the print server saves the
configuration even if the printer or print server is turned off.
