HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Default IP Address Configuration Options

With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot be changed.

Link-local addresses will not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet will not be available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address.

If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server will automatically reassign its address, if necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing methods.

●On large or enterprise IP networks, a temporary address of 192.0.0.192 will be assigned until it is reconfigured with a valid address through supported TCP/IP configuration tools. We refer to this address as Legacy Default IP.

●On mixed-environment networks, the self-assigned default IP address may be either 169.254/16 or 192.0.0.192. In this case, you should verify on the Jetdirect configuration page that the assigned default IP address is as expected.

The IP address configured on your print server may be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See Chapter 9.

Default IP Address Configuration Options

Default IP Parameter

A Default IP configuration parameter on the print server controls how the default IP address is assigned. Whenever the print server is unable to obtain an IP address during a forced TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when manually configured to use BOOTP or DHCP), this parameter will determine the default IP address to use.

When the print server is in a factory-default state, this parameter is undefined.

If the print server is initially configured with a default IP address (either a link-local IP address or the legacy default 192.0.0.192 IP address), the Default IP parameter will be set to either Auto IP or Legacy Default IP to match.

The Default IP parameter can be changed through a supported configuration tool, such as Telnet, a Web browser, a printer control panel, and SNMP management applications.
