Using Dhcp; Unix Systems; Windows Systems - HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual

Using DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132)
is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP
Jetdirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your
network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically obtains
its IP address from that server and registers its name with any
RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long
as a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server IP
address has been specified.
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
BOOTP/TFTP".
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.
