In the IP Address Pool section, set up the IP address range by typing the beginning IP address in the Start Address box and the ending IP address in the End Address box. Also type the subnet mask for the subnet to which the IP address pool applies. ENWW IPv4 Configuration 37

A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also be used with DHCP to configure
extended parameters. For more information on TFTP parameters, see “
Using
BOOTP/TFTP
(IPv4)
”.
NOTE
DHCP services must be available on the server. Refer to your system documentation
or online help to install or enable DHCP services.
NOTE
If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different
subnets, IP configuration may fail unless the routing device allows 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) 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 dynamic domain name services are
provided.
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 powered 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 will respond with the print server's IP configuration data.
NOTE
This information is provided as an overview. For specific information or for additional
support, see the information supplied with your DHCP server software.
NOTE
To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all
printers be assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
Windows NT 4.0 Server
To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps:
1
At the Windows NT server, open the
Program Manager
window and double-click the
Network
Administrator
icon.
2
Double-click the
DHCP Manager
icon to open this window.
3
Select
Server
and select
Server Add
.
4
Type the server IP address, then click
OK
to return to the
DHCP Manager
window.
5
In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select
Scope
and
select
Create
.
6
Select
Set up the IP Address Pool
. In the
IP Address Pool
section, set up the IP address
range by typing the beginning IP address in the
Start Address
box and the ending IP address in
the
End Address
box. Also type the subnet mask for the subnet to which the IP address pool
applies.
