HP 175X Windows 2000 servers, Unique Identifier box, Click Close to exit to the Program Manager

7.In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then select [OK].

HP recommends that all print servers be assigned infinite leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope (as described above) causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases.

If you want clients on your network to have finite leases, you can instead set the duration to a finite time, but you should configure all print servers as reserved clients for the scope.

8.If you have set Lease Duration to Unlimited in the previous step, then skip now to the next step 9. If you have set Lease Duration to a finite time, then continue with this step:

Select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your print servers as reserved clients. For each print server, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that print server:

a.Type the selected IP address.

b.Obtain the hardware (MAC) address from the configuration page, and type this address in the

Unique Identifier box.

c.Input a client name.

d.Select Add to add the reserved client. To delete a reservation, in the DHCP Manager window, select Scope and select Active Leases. In the Active Leases window, click on the reservation you want to delete and select [Delete].

9.Select Close to return to the DHCP Manager window.

10.If you do not plan to use WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service), then skip now to the next step 11. If you plan to use WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service), then continue with this step:

a.From the DHCP Manager window, select DHCP Options and select one of the following:

Scope: if you want name services only for the selected scope.

Global: if you want name services for all scopes.

b.Add the server to the Active Options list. In the DHCP Options window, select

WINS/NBNS Servers (044) from the Unused Options list. Select [Add]; then select [OK].

A warning may appear requesting that you set the node type. You will do this in step 10d below.

c.Now provide the IP address of the WINS server as follows:

i.Select Value, then Edit Array.

ii.From the IP Address Array Editor, select Remove to delete any undesired addresses previously set.

Then type in the IP address of the WINS server and select [Add].

iii.Once the address appears in the list of IP addresses, select [OK]. This returns you to the

DHCP Options window. If the address you have just added appears in the list of IP addresses (near the bottom of the window) continue to step 10d below. Otherwise, retry step 10c.

d.In the DHCP Options window, select WINS/NBT Node Type (046) from the Unused Options list. Select

[Add] to add the node type to the Active Options list. In the Byte box, input 0x4 to indicate a mixed node,

and select [OK].

11.Click [Close] to exit to the Program Manager.

Windows 2000 servers:

You will set up a pool--scope-- of IP addresses that the server can assign or lease to a requester.

Note: To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change, HP recommends that all print servers be assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
