Description

If you specify BOOTP=NO*, DHCP=NO* and AUTO IP=NO*, you can manually set the following TCP/IPv4 parameters from the control panel:

◦ Each byte of the IPv4 address (IP) ◦ Subnet Mask (SM)

◦ Syslog Server (LG)

◦ Default Gateway (GW)

◦ Idle Timeout period (default is 270 seconds, 0 disables the timeout)

 

● CFG DNS 1=YES* IPv4 address of a primary DNS server (one byte at a time).

 

● CFG DNS 2=YES* IPv4 address of a secondary DNS server (one byte at a time).

 

● IPV6 = YES* Enable IPv6 operation. Select NO to disable IPv6 operation.

 

● POLICY=<option> Set one of the following IPv6 addressing policies:

 

◦

RTR_AV: (default) Stateful auto-configuration method is determined by a router. The

 

 

router specifies whether the print server obtains its address, configuration information,

 

 

or both from a DHCPv6 server.

 

◦

RTR_UN: Attempt to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (when a

 

 

router is not available)..

 

◦

ALWAYS: Always attempt to obtain its stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server

 

 

(whether or not a router is available).

 

● MANUAL= KEEP/DISABLE Set the behavior of a manually configured IPv6 address

 

detected on the print server.

 

◦

KEEP (default): Maintain the address in an active state.

 

◦

DISABLE: Maintain the address but in an inactive state.

 

Print an HP Jetdirect configuration page to verify your settings. (The print server can overwrite

 

selected parameters with values that ensure proper operation.)

 

 

CFG IPX/SPX

Access the IPX/SPX menu and set protocol parameters.

 

NO (default): Bypass the menu.

 

YES: Access the menu.

 

Using this menu, you can specify the Frame Type parameter used on your network.

 

● AUTO (default) Automatically set the frame type to the first detected.

 

● For Ethernet cards, you can select EN_8023, EN_II, EN_8022, EN_SNAP.

 

 

WEB
