Network Configuration

3.Type a unique Host Name for your printer.

4.Select the desired method for obtaining a dynamic IP address from the IP Address Resolution drop-down menu, or select Static to define a static IP address.

5.If you select Static, type the Machine IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway Address in the appropriate fields.

Notes:

If you select BOOTP or DHCP, you cannot change the IP address, Subnet Mask, or default gateway.

If RARP address resolution mode is selected, you cannot change the IP address. Select Static to disable dynamic addressing.

6.Type a valid Domain Name.

DNS Configuration for IPv4

1.Type an IP address for the Preferred DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2.

Note: If DHCP or BOOTP is the IP Address Resolution setting, you cannot change the Domain Name, Primary DNS Server, Alternate DNS Server 1, and Alternate DNS Server 2 settings.

2.Under Dynamic DNS Registration (DDNS), select Enabled.

Note: If your DNS Server does not support dynamic updates, you do not need to enable DDNS.

3.Under Release Registration, select Enabled if you want the printer to release its IP address when it restarts.

Zero-Configuration Networking

1.If the printer cannot connect to a DHCP server to obtain an IP address, select Self Assigned Address to allow the printer to assign itself a Link-Local address. Link-Local addresses are between 169.254.0.0 and 169.254.255.255.

2.Select Enable under Multicast DNS to enable the printer to use DNS queries over IP Multicast

Note: Multicast DNS allows the Apple Bonjour protocol to map host names to IP addresses on a network without using a conventional DNS server. This is used to advertise printer services over a network.

3.Click Apply.

Configuring IP Settings for IPv6

IPv6 hosts can automatically configure themselves when connected to a routed IPv6 network using the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6). ICMPv6 performs error reporting for IP along with other diagnostic functions. When first connected to a network, a host sends a link-local multicast router solicitation request for its configuration parameters. If suitably configured, routers
