Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

tcp-mss: (or subnets-local:)

Maximum segment size (MSS) that the HP Jetdirect print server advertises for use when communicating with local subnets (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more) or remote subnets (MSS=536 bytes). Use the following values:

0 (default): All networks are assumed to be local (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more).

1: Use MSS=1460 bytes (or more) for subnets, and MSS=536 bytes for remote networks.

2: All networks are assumed to be remote (MSS=536 bytes), except the local subnet.

MSS affects performance by preventing IP fragmentation that can result in data retransmission.

tcp-msl:

Maximum segment life (MSL) in seconds. The range is 5 to 120 seconds. 0: Disable. 15 (default): Enable.

telnet-config: (or telnet:)

Print server allows incoming Telnet connections. If disabled, you can regain access by changing the setting in the TFTP file and turning the print server on and then off, or resetting the print server to factory default values (cold reset). 0: Disable.

1: Enable. Allow incoming Telnet connections.

default-ip:

IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from the network during a forced TCP/IP re- configuration. For example, when turned off and then on or when manually configured to use BOOTP/DHCP.

DEFAULT_IP: Set the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192.

AUTO_IP: Set a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x.

The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first turned on.

default-ip-dhcp:

Periodically transmit DHCP requests when a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or link-local IP address 169.254.x.x is automatically assigned.

0: Disable.

1 (default): Enable DHCP requests.

dhcp-arbitration:

Seconds that the print server waits for DHCP configuration offers. The range is between 1 and 10 seconds. 0: Disable. 5

(default): Enable.

web-refresh:

Time interval for HP Embedded Web Server diagnostic page updates. The range is between 1 and 99999 seconds. 0: Disable.

SNMP

snmp-config:

SNMP operation on the print server. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable SNMP operation.

CAUTION: Disabling SNMP disables all SNMP agents (SNMP v1, v2, v3), communication with HP Web Jetadmin, and firmware upgrades using HP downloading utilities.
