Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

ssl-state: (or ssl-redirect-config)

Print server's security level for Web communication, using the following values:

1: Forced redirection to the HTTPS port. Use only HTTPS (secure HTTP) communication.

2: Disable redirection to HTTPS. Use both HTTP and HTTPS communication.

security-reset:

Reset security settings on the print server to factory default values. 0 (default): Do not reset. 1: Reset.

llmnr:

Link local multicast name resolution (LLMNR). 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

host-name: (or sys-name:,name:)

Node name that appears on the HP Jetdirect configuration page. Default is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx represents the last six digits of the LAN hardware address.

ip-config:

Print server configuration method. Use the following values:

◦manual: Wait for IP parameters using manual tools, such as Telnet, the HP Embedded Web Server, the control panel, or installation/management software. Status is User Specified.

◦bootp: Send BOOTP requests on the network for dynamic IP configuration.

◦dhcp: Send DHCP requests on the network for dynamic IP configuration.

◦auto_ip: Automatically configure with a unique link-local address 169.254.x.x.

ipsec-config:

The ipsec-configcommand is available on print servers that support both IPsec and Firewall configuration. The firewall-configcommand is available on full-featured print servers that do not support IPsec, but allow Firewall configuration. 0: Disable IPsec/Firewall operation. 1: (Read Only) IPsec/Firewall policies are configured and enabled.

NOTE: Disable IPsec or Firewall operation on the print server after IPsec/Firewall policies are configured and enabled. You cannot enable IPsec/Firewall operation using this command. Instead, use the HP Embedded Web Server to configure and enable IPsec/Firewall polices.

ip:

IP address for the print server. For example:

ip-config manual

ip 192.168.45.39

In the example, manual signifies manual configuration and ip sets the IP address on the print server. To clear the IP address, set the value to 0.0.0.0. If you change this IP address, you must use it on the next Telnet connection.
