ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 34

DHCP Requests Enable/Disable

When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose to send, or

not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to

retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the

network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP

requests to be transmitted. However, this parameter may be

disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a

Web browser, and SNMP management applications.

TCP/IP Configuration Tools

Depending on your printer and operating system, an HP Jetdirect

print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for

your network in the following ways:

● Using Software. You can use your printer installation

software on supported systems. For more information see

Chapter 2

, “HP Software Solutions Summary”.

● BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a

network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is

turned on. For more information, see “Using BOOTP/TFTP

”.

The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP

server that is accessible by the printer.

● DHCP/TFTP. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each

time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on

HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows

NT/2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to

your network operating system manuals to verify that your

server operating system supports DHCP.) For more

information, see “Using DHCP

”.
