Configuring the print server

for BOOTP configuration

The factory-default state of the HP Jetdirect print server allows it to use BOOTP services automatically, so no further

action is necessary.

How the default configuration works

Changing the BOOTP/DHCP configuration method

Setting up the DHCP server

The procedure to set up the DHCP server depends on the operating system on that system. (It may be a system other

than those using the HP Jetdirect print services.)

UNIX●

Windows NT 4.0●

Windows 2000●

UNIX servers:

For instructions 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 the print server IP addresses remain static until

dynamic name services are provided.

Windows NT 4.0 servers:

You will set up a pool--scope-- of IP addresses that the server can assign or lease to a requester.

Note: To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all print servers be

assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.

NT Procedure:

Note: In addition to the general steps provided here, see also the instructions supplied with your DHCP

software.

On the Windows NT server, open the

Program Manager window and double-click the Network Administrator

icon.

Double-click the

DHCP Manager icon to open this window.2.

Select

Server and select Server Add.3.

Type the server IP address, then click

[OK] to return to the DHCP Manager window.4.

In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select

Scope and select Create.5.

Select

Set up the IP Address Pool. In the IP Address Pool section, set up the IP address range by entering the

beginning IP address in the

Start Address box and entering the ending IP address in the End Address box. Also

enter 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 addresses within a scope.
