●By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000 and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your operating system supports DHCP.)

Note

Linux and UNIX systems: For more information,

 

see the bootpd man page.

 

On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration

 

file (dhcptab) may be loaded in the /etc directory.

 

Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic

 

Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP

 

implementations, HP recommends that you set all

 

print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures

 

that print server IP addresses remain static until

 

such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services are

 

provided.

 

 

●By a network-based server using RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) answering the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP method only allows you to configure the IP address.

●By using the arp and ping commands from your system.

●By setting configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your UNIX system to the HP JetDirect print server using the default IP address. The default IP address takes effect two minutes after the printer is turned on (if none of the other configuration methods have been used). (Older products may take longer for the IP address to take effect.) The default IP address is 192.0.0.192. If Telnet is used, the print server saves the configuration even if the printer or print server is turned off.
