limited subset of the configuration parameters, control panel configuration is recommended only
during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print
server saves the configuration when turned off and then turned on. For more information, see
“
Use the printer control panel on page 61
”.
Use BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
BOOTP and TFTP provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server
for TCP/IPv4 network operation. When turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP
request message onto the network. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network responds
with a message that contains basic network configuration data for the HP Jetdirect print server. The
BOOTP server's response can also identify a file (TFTP configuration file) that contains extended
configuration data for the print server. The HP Jetdirect print server uses TFTP to download this file
from the BOOTP server or from a separate TFTP server.
NOTE:
If you are configuring an HP Jetdirect wireless print server, this section assumes that a
wireless network connection is established.
BOOTP/TFTP servers are typically UNIX or Linux systems. Microsoft Windows Server 2003,
Windows Server 2008, and NetWare servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 servers are configured through Microsoft DHCP services (see
Use DHCP (IPv4) on page 36
). However, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server
2008 systems might require third-party software for TFTP support. For setup of NetWare BOOTP
servers, see the NetWare documentation.
NOTE:
If the HP Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IPv4 configuration might fail unless the routing device supports BOOTP Relay, which allows the
transfer of BOOTP requests between subnets.
Advantages of using BOOTP/TFTP
Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits:
●
Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods,
such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters.
●
Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network are
in one location.
●
Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration. Complete network configuration is automatically
downloaded each time the print server is turned on.
NOTE:
BOOTP operation is similar to DHCP, but the resulting IP parameters are the same when
turned off and then turned on. In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and might change
over time.
When in its factory-default state and turned on, the HP Jetdirect print server attempts to automatically
configure itself using several dynamic methods, including BOOTP.
Configure the print server using BOOTP/TFTP on UNIX
This section describes how to configure the print server using BOOTP and TFTP services on UNIX
servers. Use BOOTP and TFTP to download network configuration data from a server to the
HP Jetdirect print server over the network.
