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).
