Config Precedence tab

Specify the order of precedence of the print server configuration methods. For example, to ensure that IPv4 parameters configured by a TFTP server cannot be overwritten by a manual configuration method (such as the printer control panel, Telnet, or the HP Embedded Web Server), you can indicate that TFTP takes precedence over manual configuration.

The factory-default precedence order is indicated in the following table.

configuration.

 

DHCP/Bootp Use a BootP or DHCPv4 server.

 

DHCPv6 Use a DHCPv6 server.

 

Default: Factory default configuration.

Cancel

Depending on the changes made, you might need to turn the print server Off/On to

implement.

Example: To set all parameters configured through DHCP to Read-only, and allow manual configuration only of parameters that are not configured through DHCP, use the following steps:

1.Turn on the print server so that it obtains its DHCP configuration.

2.Change the precedence table to the following:
