HP 510x Print Server manual Unix Systems, Windows Systems

UNIX Systems

For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.

On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory.

If your HP-UX system does not support 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 dynamic name services are available.

Windows Systems

HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a Windows DHCP server. This section describes how to set up a pool, or “scope,” of IP addresses that the Windows server can assign or lease to any requester. When configured for BOOTP/DHCP operation (factory default), the HP Jetdirect print server makes a request to the DHCP server for its IP configuration when the print server is turned on.

Note

Note

This information is provided as an overview. For specific information or for additional support, see the information supplied with your DHCP software.

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