Use DHCP (IPv4)
DHCP (RFC 2131/2132) is one of several automatic configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect
print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically
obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001- and 1002-compliant
dynamic name services if a WINS server IP address is specified.
You can also use a TFTP configuration file with DHCP to configure extended parameters. For more
information on TFTP parameters, see
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
on page
22
.
NOTE:
DHCP services must be available on the server. See your system documentation or online
help to install or enable DHCP services.
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a wireless network
connection is established.
If the HP Jetdirect print server and BOOT/DHCP server are located on different subnets, IP configuration
can fail unless the routing device allows for the transfer of DHCP requests between subnets.
UNIX systems
For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) might be located in the
/etc
directory.
If your HP-UX system does not provide DDNS services for its DHCP implementation, HP recommends
that you set all print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures that print server IP addresses remain
static until dynamic domain name services are available.
Windows systems
HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a supported Windows DHCP server. This section
describes how to set up a pool or scope of IP addresses that the Windows server can assign or lease
to any requester. When configured for BOOTP or DHCP operation and turned on, the HP Jetdirect print
server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP request for its IP configuration. If properly set up, a
Windows DHCP server responds with the print server's IP configuration data.
NOTE:
For specific topics or for additional support, see the information supplied with your DHCP
server software.
To avoid problems resulting from changing IP addresses, HP recommends assigning printers IP
addresses with infinite lease durations or using reserved IP addresses.
