Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

syslog-facility:

Identify the source facility of a message. Typically used to identify the source of selected messages during troubleshooting. By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses LPR as the source facility code. Use values of local0 through local7 to isolate individual or groups of print servers.

slp-config:

Use the service location protocol (SLP) operation on the print server. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

slp-keep-alive:

Number of minutes the print server waits between sending multicast packets on the network to prevent deletion from network device tables. The range is 1 to 1440 minutes. Some infrastructure devices, such as switches, delete active devices from their device tables because of network inactivity. 0: Disable.

syslog-protocol

Use the TCP or UDP port for syslog communication when logging security events. 6: PROTO_TCP. 17 (default): PROTO_UDP.

syslog-port

Valid port number of the TCP or UDP port for syslog communication when logging security events. The valid range is from 1 to 65535. The default port number is 514.

ttl-slp:

IP multicast time to live (TTL) setting for SLP packets. The range is 1 to 15 hops. (A hop is the number of routers from the local network.). -1: Disable. 4 (default): Enable.

bonjour-config:

Use Bonjour. (Previously listed as multicast domain name system [mDNS services.) Bonjour is typically used for IP address and name resolution (through UDP port 5353) where a conventional DNS server is neither used or available. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

bonjour-svc-name:

Bonjour service name. This name is persistent and is used to resolve a particular device or service if socket information (such as the IP address) changes from session to session. Apple Bonjour displays this service. The default service name is the printer model and the LAN hardware (MAC) address. Enter up to 64 alphanumeric characters.

bonjour-domain-na

(Read only.) Bonjour domain name assigned to the device, in the form <host name>.local. If a user-specified host name is not assigned, the default host name NPIxxxxxx is used, where xxxxxx are the last 6 digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.
