Table 3-2TFTP configuration file parameters (continued)

get-cmnty-name: (or get-community-name:)

Optional. Password to determine which SNMP GetRequests the HP Jetdirect print server responds to. If a Get community name is set, the print server responds to either a user-specified community name or the factory-default. Enter up to 255 alphanumeric characters.

set-cmnty-name: (or set-community-name:)

Password to determine which SNMP SetRequests (control functions) the HP Jetdirect print server responds to. The community name of an incoming SNMP SetRequest must match the print server's Set community name for the print server to respond. (For additional security, you can limit configuration access through the print server's host access list.) Enter up to 255 alphanumeric characters.

auth-trap: (or authentication-trap:)

Send SNMP authentication traps. Authentication traps indicate that an SNMP request was received, but the community name check failed. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

trap-dest: (or trap-destination:)

Add a host's IP address to the HP Jetdirect print server's SNMP trap destination list. The list can contain up to six entries. To receive SNMP traps, the systems listed on the SNMP trap destination list must have a trap daemon that listens for the traps. The following is the parameter format:

trap-dest: <ip-address> [community name] [port number]

The default community name is public. The default SNMP port number is 162. (You must enter a community name to specify a port number.)

If a trap-destfollows a trap-community-name, the trap community name is assigned to those entries unless a different community name is specified in each trap-destcommand.

To delete the table list, set trap destination to zero (trap-dest: 0).

By default the SNMP trap destination list is empty and does not send SNMP traps.

IPX/SPX

ipx-config: (or ipx/spx:)

IPX/SPX protocol operation on the print server. 0: Disable. 1 (default): Enable.

NOTE: On HP Jetdirect 635n print servers, by default all network protocols except TCP/IP are disabled.

ipx-unit-name:

Name assigned to the print server. By default, the name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware address. Enter up to 31 alphanumeric characters.

ipx-frametype:

IPX frame type setting available for your print server model. Set to AUTO (default), EN_SNAP, EN_8022, EN_8023,

EN_II.

ipx-sapinterval:

Time in seconds that the HP Jetdirect print server waits between service advertising protocol (SAP) broadcasts on the network. The range is 1 to 3600 seconds. 0: Disable. 60 (default): Enable SAP broadcasts.
