ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 27
UNIX Systems
For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see
the bootpd man page.
On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab)
may be located in the /etc directory.
If your HP-UX system does not support 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 dynamic name
services are available.
Windows Systems
HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a Windows
DHCP server. This section describes how to set up a pool, or “scope,”
of IP addresses that the Windows server can assign or lease to any
requester. When configured for BOOTP/DHCP operation (factory
default), the HP
Jetdirect print server makes a request to the DHCP
server for its IP configuration when the print server is turned on.
Note This information is provided as an overview. For
specific information or for additional support, see
the information supplied with your DHCP software.
Note To avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that
change, HP
recommends that all printers be
assigned IP addresses with infinite leases or
reserved IP addresses.
