TCP/IP configuration tools, Using DHCP, UNIX systems

Page 181 highlights

TCP/IP configuration tools Depending on your all-in-one and operating system, the all-in-one can be configured with valid TCP/ IP parameters for your network in the following ways: ● Using Software-You can use the HP ToolboxFX software, or you can use the all-in-one Embedded Web server by entering the IP address in your Web browser. ● BOOTP-You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) each time the all-in-one is turned on. The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the all-in-one. ● DHCP-You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000/XP, NetWare and Mac systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.) NOTE Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, see the BOOTPD man page. On HPUX 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 lease durations to infinite. This ensures that IP addresses remain static until such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are provided. Using DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the all-in-one uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the all-in-one automatically obtains its IP address from that server. 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 all-in-one 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 about setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the BOOTPD man page. On HPUX 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. ENWW Using DHCP 163

TCP/IP configuration tools
Depending on your all-in-one and operating system, the all-in-one can be configured with valid TCP/
IP parameters for your network in the following ways:
Using Software—You can use the HP ToolboxFX software, or you can use the all-in-one
Embedded Web server by entering the IP address in your Web browser.
BOOTP—You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) each time the all-in-one is turned on. The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running
on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the all-in-one.
DHCP—You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported
in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000/XP, NetWare and Mac
systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your server 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 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 lease durations to
infinite
. This
ensures that IP addresses remain static until such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services
are provided.
Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration
mechanisms that the all-in-one uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the all-in-one
automatically obtains its IP address from that server.
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 all-in-one 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 about 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.
