On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration

 

file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory.

 

Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic

 

Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP

 

implementations, HP recommends that you set all

 

print server lease durations to infinite. This ensures

 

that print server IP addresses remain static until

 

such time as Dynamic Domain Name Services

 

are provided.

 

 

RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more information, see “Using RARP”.

arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 only) You can use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see “Using the arp and ping Commands”.

Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using the default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more information, see “Using Telnet”.

Embedded Web server. You can browse to the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server to set the configuration parameters. For more information, see Chapter 4.

Printer Control Panel. You can manually enter the configuration data using the printer control panel keys. The control panel method allows you to configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters. Therefore, control panel configuration is recommended only during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control panel configuration is used, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more information, see “Using the Printer Control Panel”.
