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 name
services are provided.
Windows Systems
HP JetDirect print servers support IP configuration from a
Windows NT or 2000 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/DHCP operation (factory default), the HP JetDirect print
server makes a request to the DHCP server for its IP configuration
when the print server is turned on.
Note This information is provided as an overview. For
specific information or for additional support, see
the information supplied with your DHCP 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.
