Tools and Utilities

Similar to IPv4 environments, system tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or
troubleshoot communications with the print server. However, these tools and utilities may require
different command formats depending on your system. Some examples are listed below.
●
ipconfig /all or ipv6 if: From the Windows command line prompt, these commands will identify
IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system. Note that an interface IPv6 address
may contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for example, "%3") appended to a
link-local IPv6 address.
●
ping6: From the Windows XP command line prompt, this command sends test packets to a remote
interface and reports response packets from that interface. The command format is:
NOTE
by specifying the appropriate command option.
ping6 <IPv6 address><%ScopeID>
where <IPv6 address> is the address of the remote host interface (such as the print server).
The <%ScopeID> value may be needed to uniquely specify the interface on the local system if it
is configured with multiple link-local IPv6 addresses.
For example, if the print server's link-local IPv6 address is fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd, and the Windows
system contains a LAN interface with %3 appended to its link-local address, you would use the
following command:
ping6 fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd%3
Note that depending on the local interface used, a route to the remote host address may need to
be created.
●
IPv6 addresses as URL: As a URL in a Web browser, an IPv6 address must be enclosed in
brackets. For example, to access the print server's embedded Web server, enter:
http://[fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd]
where fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd is the IPv6 address of the print server.
NOTE
1.x. Your Microsoft Internet Explorer version may not support direct IPv6 addressing.
For detailed information on these and other tools, see your system documentation and help.

IPv4 Configuration

This section provides IPv4–specific configuration information for HP Jetdirect print servers on a TCP/
IPv4 network.

Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration (IPv4)

When in a factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will try to obtain its TCP/
IP configuration using a server-based method, such as BOOTP/TFTP, DHCP/TFTP, or RARP. These
server-based methods are described later in this chapter. Depending on the print server model, up to
two minutes may be used for these methods. If configuration is not successful, a default IP address will
be assigned.

On Windows Server 2003, the ping command may be used for an IPv6 address
The browser must support direct IPv6 addressing as a URL, such as Mozilla Firefox
