HP 640n Print Server manual 1Tags supported in a BOOTP/DHCP boot file, RFC Description

Entries and tags supported by the HP Jetdirect print server are listed in the following table:

Table 3-1Tags supported in a BOOTP/DHCP boot file

Item	RFC 2132	Description
	Option
nodename	--	Peripheral name. Identifies an entry point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral.
		Must be the first field in an entry. (In the example, nodename is picasso.)
ht	--	Hardware type. For the HP Jetdirect print server, set this to ether (for Ethernet). Must
		precede the ha tag.
vm	--	BOOTP report format (required). Set this to rfc1048.
ha	--	Hardware address. The media access control (MAC) address or hardware address, which
		is displayed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page as the HARDWARE ADDRESS. Must
		be preceded by the ht tag.
ip	--	IP address tag (required) of the HP Jetdirect print server.
sm	1	Subnet mask. Used by the HP Jetdirect print server to identify the portions of an IP
		address that set the network/subnetwork number and the host address.
gw	3	Gateway IP address. The IP address of the default gateway (router) that the HP Jetdirect
		print server uses for communication with other subnets.
ds	6	DNS server's IP address. Specify only a single name server.
lg	7	The syslog server's IP address. Specify the server that the HP Jetdirect print server sends
		syslog messages to.
hn	12	Host name. (This parameter does not accept a value.) When present in the file, causes
		the BOOTP daemon to download the host name to the HP Jetdirect print server. The host
		name is printed on the HP Jetdirect configuration page, or returned on an SNMP sysName
		request by a network application.
dn	15	Domain name. Specify the domain name for the HP Jetdirect print server (for example,
		support.hp.com). It does not include the host name, and is not the FQDN (such as
		printer1.support.hp.com).
ef	18	Extensions file. Specify the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file.
		NOTE: This is similar to the vendor-specific tag T144, described below.
na	44	NetBIOS-over-TCP/IP Name Server (NBNS) IP addresses. Specify a primary and
		secondary server in order of preference.
lease-time	51	DHCP IP address lease duration time. Specify the time in seconds.
tr	58	DHCP T1 timeout. Specify the DHCP lease renewal time in seconds.
tv	59	DHCP T2 timeout. Specify the DHCP lease rebind time in seconds.
T144	--	Relative path name of the TFTP configuration file. HP proprietary. Specify the path name
		using double quotes, for example “pathname”. Long path names are truncated. For file
		format information, see TFTP configuration file entries (IPv4) on page 25.
		NOTE: Standard BOOTP option 18 (extensions file path) also allows a standard tag (ef)
		for specifying the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file.
T145	--	Idle timeout. HP proprietary. Specify the time, in seconds, that a print data connection can
		remain idle before being closed. The range is 1–3600 seconds.
