HP J7949E manual TCP/IP Configuration Tools, Dhcp Requests Enable/Disable

DHCP Requests Enable/Disable

When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose to send, or not send, periodic DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on the network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted. However, this parameter may be disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a Web browser, and SNMP management applications.

TCP/IP Configuration Tools

Depending on your printer and operating system, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways:

●Using Software. You can use your printer installation software on supported systems. For more information see Chapter 2, “HP Software Solutions Summary”.

●BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. For more information, see “Using BOOTP/TFTP”.

The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.

●DHCP/TFTP. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.) For more information, see “Using DHCP”.
