Item Description
●
Valid Lftm: The length of time (lifetime) that the address can be used, after which
the address becomes invalid. This value is determined during the auto-
configuration process.
● Pref Lftm: The length of time (lifetime) that the address can be used without
limitation, but after which the address is deprecated — its use is discouraged. The
preferred lifetime is a subset of the valid lifetime. This value is determined during
the auto-configuration process.
Default Route Information If a router advertises itself to the print server as a default router on the local link, its IPv6
address and the length of time that it may be used are displayed.
Network Identification
This tab provides TCP/IP network identification . Items on this page are listed below.
Table 4-4 TCP/IP Network Identification tab
Item Description
Host Name Specifies a readable IP name (the SNMP SysName object) for the network device. The
name must start with a letter and can end in a letter or number, up to 32 ASCII characters.
The default name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware
(MAC) address.
Domain Name (IPv4/IPv6)
Domain Name (IPv6 only)
Specifies the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain that the HP Jetdirect
print server resides in (for example, support.hp.com). It does not include the host name;
it is not the Fully Qualified Domain Name (such as printer1.support.hp.com).
The IPv4 and IPv6 domain names may be the same or different depending on the
network. For example, a separate IPv6 domain name may be assigned on networks
where segmentation of IPv4 and IPv6 hosts is desirable. If an IPv6 Domain Name is
assigned, it applies to the IPv6 network only.
DNS (IPv4)
DNS (IPv6)
Use the fields provided to configure the print server with primary and secondary Domain
Name System (DNS) servers on your IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
Primary: Specify the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.
Secondary: Specify the IP address of a secondary DNS server to use if the primary DNS
server is unavailable.
DNS Suffixes A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a domain name appended to a host
name, and is used (for example, by DNS servers) to resolve an IP address associated
with a device.
The DNS suffix list is a list of domain names for the printer. If user-friendly host names
are used, a DNS suffix list may be created and stored on the print server to assist in
resolving the printer's host name with its IP address.
To add an entry to the suffix list, enter a domain name (text string) in the Add button
field, then click Add . To delete an entry from the list, select the entry and click Delete .
DNS suffix entries may consist of up to 256 alphanumeric characters and periods. The
DNS suffix list may contain up to 32 entries.
WINS (IPv4 only) Use the fields provided to configure the print server with preferred and alternate Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS) server on your IPv4 network. Like DNS, WINS provides
IP address and name resolution services for network computers and devices.
Preferred: Specify the IP address of the primary WINS server.
