HP 625n Gigabit Ethernet Print Server manual Using Dhcp

Using DHCP

Note	For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section
	assumes that a wireless connection to your network
	has been established.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001

and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.

A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also be used with DHCP to configure extended parameters. For more information on TFTP parameters, see “Using BOOTP/TFTP”.

Note

Note

DHCP services must be available on the server. Refer to your system documentation or online help to install or enable DHCP services.

If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets, IP configuration may fail unless the routing device allows the transfer of DHCP requests between subnets.
