Default IPv4 Behavior When powered on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired) will systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IPv4 settings. Up to two minutes are used. If configuration is not successful, a default IPv4 address will be assigned as described previously. Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication may not work without modification. For the default IP address settings actually configured on the print server, see the Jetdirect configuration page. TCP/IP Configuration Tools When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways: ■ Using Software. You can use installation, setup, and management software running on supported systems. For more information see HP Software Solutions Summary. ■ BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. For more information, see "Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)". The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer. ■ DHCP/TFTP. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, Windows NT/2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.) For more information, see "Using DHCP (IPv4)". 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 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 print server IP addresses remain static until such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are provided. ■ RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer 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. For more information, see "Using RARP (IPv4)". ■ arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 only) You can use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see "Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)". ■ Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more information, see "Using Telnet (IPv4)". ENWW IPv4 Configuration 23

Default IPv4 Behavior
When powered on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired) will
systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IPv4 settings. Up to two minutes are
used. If configuration is not successful, a default IPv4 address will be assigned as described
previously.
Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial
communication may not work without modification. For the default IP address settings actually
configured on the print server, see the Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP Configuration Tools
When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured
with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways:
■
Using Software
. You can use installation, setup, and management software running on
supported systems. For more information see
HP
Software
Solutions
Summary
.
■
BOOTP/TFTP
. You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP
(Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on.
For more information, see “
Using
BOOTP/TFTP
(IPv4)
”.
The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the
printer.
■
DHCP/TFTP
. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX,
Solaris, Linux, Windows NT/2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your
network operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.)
For more information, see “
Using
DHCP
(IPv4)
”.
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 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 print server IP addresses remain static until such time as
Dynamic Domain Name Services are provided.
■
RARP
. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to
answer 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. For more information, see “
Using
RARP
(IPv4)
”.
■
arp and ping commands
. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address
192.0.0.192 only) You can use the
arp
and
ping
commands from your system. For more
information, see “
Using
the
arp
and
ping
Commands
(IPv4)
”.
■
Telnet
. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration
parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using
the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when powered
off/on. For more information, see “
Using
Telnet
(IPv4)
”.
