HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual page 131

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 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.
The starting and ending IP addresses define the end
points of the address pool assigned to this scope.
Note If desired, you can exclude ranges of IP
addresseswithin a "scope."
7 In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then
select OK.
