information, see BOOTP/TFTP.

●By using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000, NetWare, and MacOS systems.

(Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your operating system supports DHCP.) For more information, see 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 located 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. For more information, see RARP.

●By using the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see arp and ping commands.

●By setting configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your 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). The default IP address is 192.0.0.192. If Telnet is used, the print server saves the configuration over power cycles. For more information, see Telnet.

●By browsing to the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server and setting the configuration parameters. For more
