ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 34
DHCP Requests Enable/Disable
When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose to send, or
not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to
retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the
network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP
requests to be transmitted. However, this parameter may be
disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a
Web browser, and SNMP management applications.
TCP/IP Configuration Tools
Depending on your printer and operating system, 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 your printer installation
software on supported systems. For more information see
Chapter 2
, “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
”.
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, Red Hat Linux, SuSE 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
”.
