with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as a WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.
A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also be used with DHCP to configure
extended parameters. For more information on TFTP parameters, see “
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
”.
NOTE
DHCP services must be available on the server. Refer to your system documentation or
online help to install or enable DHCP services.
NOTE
If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IP configuration may fail unless the routing device allows the transfer of DHCP requests between
subnets.
UNIX Systems
For more information 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.
If your HP-UX system does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP
implementation, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to “infinite”. This ensures
that print server IP addresses remain static until dynamic domain name services are available.
Windows Systems
HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a supported Windows DHCP server. This section
describes how to set up a pool, or “scope,” of IP addresses that the Windows server can assign or lease
to any requester. When configured for BOOTP or DHCP operation and powered on, the HP Jetdirect
print server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP request for its IP configuration. If properly set up,
a Windows DHCP server will respond with the print server's IP configuration data.
NOTE
This information is provided as an overview. For specific information or for additional
support, see the information supplied with your DHCP server software.
NOTE
To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all
printers be assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
Windows 2000 Server/Server 2003
To set up a DHCP(IPv4) scope on a Windows 2000 server or Server 2003 system, perform the following
steps:
1.
Run the Windows DHCP manager utility.
●
Windows 2000: Click
Start
, then select
Settings
and
Control Panel
. Open the
Administrative Tools

Start
, then select
Control Panel
. Open the
Administrative Tools
folder
and run the
DHCP
utility.
2.
In the
DHCP
window, locate and select your Windows server in the DHCP tree.
If your server is not listed in the tree, select
DHCP
and click the
Action
menu to add the server.
3.
After selecting your server in the DHCP tree, click the
Action
menu and select
New Scope
. This
runs the
Add New Scope
Wizard.
