Item Description
An IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate IP addresses on a
TCP/IP network are not allowed.
Subnet Mask If subnetting is used, use this field to manually assign a subnet mask. A subnet mask is a 32-
bit number that, when applied to an IP address, determines which bits specify the network
and subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node.
Default Gateway Identifies the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or
subnetworks.
Default IP Specifies the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from
the network during a forced TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when manually configured
to use BOOTP/DHCP).
LEGACY DEFAULT_IP : sets the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192.
AUTO_IP : sets a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x.
The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first powered on.
Send DHCP requests A checkbox is used to specify whether DHCP requests will be periodically transmitted when
a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or link-local IP address 169.254.x.x has been
automatically assigned.
Clear the checkbox to disable DHCP requests.
Check the checkbox (default) to enable DHCP requests.
TCP/IP(v6)
Use the TCP/IP(v6) tab to enable IPv6 operation, view IPv6 auto-configuration addresses, or
manually configure IPv6 addresses. For basic information on IPv6 addresses on the print server, see
TCP/IP Configuration . For additional parameters that can be configured, see the Advanced tab.
Table 4-6 TCP/IP(v6) tab
Item Description
IPv6 Enable Enter a check mark in this checkbox to enable IPv6 operation. Clear this checkbox to
disable IPv6.
Link-Local Address (Read only parameter) This item specifies the print server's IPv6 link-local address
and prefix length. Like other IPv6 hosts, the print server configures this address
automatically. The link-local address allows the print server to communicate with
other IPv6 hosts on the local link without routers.
Stateless Addresses (Read only parameters) The stateless addresses (and prefix lengths) configured on
the print server are listed. Stateless addresses are assigned under the control of a
router.
DHCPv6 Addresses This section allows you to configure the DHCPv6 policy that the print server uses for
stateful addresses, assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
