Description

 

 

Use Stateless DHCPv4 When

(IPv4 only) Allow additional IPv4 parameters to be automatically configured from a

Manually Configured

DHCPv4 server even when the print server is statically configured, such as a manually

 

configured IP address, subnet mask or default gateway.

 

Select or clear the check box to enable (default) or disable stateless DHCPv4

 

configuration.

 

 

Enable DHCPv4 FQDN

By default, HP Jetdirect uses the Host Name and Domain Name settings to derive the

compliance with RFC 4702

FQDN. Selecting this option forces HP Jetdirect to ignore the Host Name and Domain

 

Name settings and instead use the host name and domain name returned by FQDN.

 

 

Hop Limit/WSD

Set the WS-Discovery hop limit for the site local IPv6 multicast packet.

 

 

TTL/SLP

(IPv4 only) IP multicast time-to-live (TTL) discovery setting for SLP packets. Enter from 1 to

 

15. The default value is 4 hops (the number of routers from the local network). Set to

 

−1 to disable multicast capability.

 

For print servers configured for Auto IP (link-local) addresses, this setting is ignored.

 

TTL on outbound packets is always set to 255 and limited to the link-local network.

 

 

Syslog Server

(IPv4 only) IP address of a host computer that is configured to receive syslog messages

 

from the HP Jetdirect print server. If a syslog server is not specified, syslog messages

 

are disabled.

 

 

Syslog Protocol

(IPv4 only) Select whether to transport syslog messages to the syslog server using the

 

TCP or UDP protocol.

 

 

Syslog Port

(IPv4 only) Valid port number to use for transporting syslog messages to the syslog

 

server using the TCP or UDP protocol.

 

 

Syslog Maximum Messages

(IPv4 only) Maximum number of syslog messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server

 

per minute. Allows you to control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If set to

 

zero, no maximum number is defined.

 

 

Syslog Priority

(IPv4 only) Filter syslog messages sent to the syslog server. Enter from 0 to 7, with 0

 

being the most specific and 7 being the most general. Only messages that are lower

 

than the specified filter level (that is, higher in priority) are reported. The default value

 

7 reports all syslog messages. A value of 8 disables syslog reporting.

 

 

Network Settings

Use the Network Settings pages to set or change configuration parameters for IPX/SPX on page 81, AppleTalk on page 83, DLC/LLC on page 83, and SNMP on page 83 protocols. To assign a parameter setting, enter the desired value and click Apply.

NOTE: The features displayed depend on the print server. Value-featured print servers provide limited protocol support.

IPX/SPX

Use the IPX/SPX tab to configure IPX/SPX parameters on the HP Jetdirect print server. IPX/SPX protocols are used for operation on a Novell NetWare or compatible IPX/SPX network (such as a Microsoft network). For a description of the items, see Table 4-10IPX/SPX tab settings on page 82.
