Table 3-3Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)

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

 

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 of 192.0.0.192 or

 

a link-local IP address of 169.254.x.x is automatically assigned.

 

0: Disable DHCP requests.

 

1 (default): Enable DHCP requests.

 

 

duid

DHCP unique identifier for a client, using a hexadecimal string to represent up to 260

 

characters.

 

 

dns-cache-ttl

Time-to-live for a cached DNS name, in seconds. Set from 0 to 4294967295 seconds.

 

Names are not cached. 0: Disable.

 

 

dhcp-arbitration

Amount of time, in seconds, that the print server waits for DHCP configuration offers. Set

 

from 1 to 10 seconds.

 

0: Disable.

 

5 (default): Enable.

 

 

stateless-dhcpv4

Allow automatic configuration of additional IP parameters from a DHCPv4 server even

 

when the print server is statically configured (such as a manually configure IP address,

 

subnet mask and default gateway).

 

0 Disable.

 

1 (default): Enable.

 

 

TCP/IP Diagnostics

 

 

 

Last Config IP

(Read-only parameter.) IP address of the system from which the HP Jetdirect print server's

 

IP address was configured.

 

 

TCP Conns Refused

(Read-only parameter.) Number of client TCP connections that are refused by the print

 

server.

 

 

TCP Access Denied

(Read-only parameter.) Number of times that client systems were denied access to the

 

print server because the print server's host access list does not contain an allowable entry.

 

 

DHCP Lease Time

(Read-only parameter.) DHCP IP address lease duration time (seconds).

 

 

DHCP Renew Time

(Read-only parameter.) DHCP T1 timeout, specifying the DHCP lease renewal time in

 

seconds.

 

 

DHCP Rebind Time

(Read-only parameter.) DHCP T2 timeout, specifying the DHCP lease rebind time in

 

seconds.
