IP address of the default gateway (router) that the HP

 

 

JetDirect print server will use for communications with

 

 

other subnets.

IP address that specify the network/subnetwork number

 

 

and the host address.

that the HP JetDirect print server sends syslog messages

of the TFTP configuration file. Maximum length of the path

 

 

name is 33 characters. The path name must be in double

A colon (:) indicates the end of a field, and a backslash (\) indicates that the entry is continued on the next line. Spaces are not allowed between the characters on a line. Names, such as host names, must begin with a letter and can contain only letters, numbers, periods, or hyphens.The underline character (_) is not allowed. Refer to your system documentation or online help for more information.

TFTP Configuration File Entries

To provide additional configuration parameters for your HP JetDirect print server, such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or non-default settings, an additional configuration file can be downloaded using TFTP. This TFTP configuration file’s relative path name is specified in the BOOTP reply using the /etc/bootptab file’s T144 vendor-specific tag entry. An example of a TFTP configuration file is provided below (the symbol ‘#’ denotes a remark and is not included in the file).
