To Discontinue Dhcp Configuration - HP Jetdirect 250M User Manual

NetWare 5.x servers provide DHCP configuration services for
network clients, including the HP Jetdirect print server. To set
up DHCP services on a NetWare server, refer to Novell
documentation and support.

To Discontinue DHCP Configuration

CAUTION Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect
print server may require updates to printer or
system printing configurations for clients or
servers.
If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured
via DHCP, you must choose a different configuration method.
1 (For EIO internal print servers) If you use the printer
control panel to set Manual or BOOTP configuration, then
DHCP will not be used.
2 You can use Telnet to set Manual (status indicates "User
Specified") or BOOTP configuration, then DHCP will not
be used.
3 You can manually modify the TCP/IP parameters via a
supported web browser using the Jetdirect embedded
web server or HP Web JetAdmin.
If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP-configured
parameters are released and the TCP/IP protocol is initialized.
If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP-configured
IP address is released and the user-specified IP parameters are
used. Therefore, if you manually provide the IP
address, you should also manually set all of the
configuration parameters, such as subnet mask,
default gateway, and idle timeout.
Note If you choose to return to a DHCP configuration, the
print server assumes it should acquire its
configuration information from a DHCP server. This
means that when choose DHCP and complete your
configuration session (using Telnet, for example), the
TCP/IP protocol for the print server is re-initialized
and all current configuration information is deleted.
The print server then attempts to acquire new
configuration information by sending DHCP requests
on the network to a DHCP server.
For DHCP configuration via Telnet, refer to
this chapter.
