Page 31: Tcp/Ip Configuration
TCP/IP Configuration Introduction To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. For general information on TCP/IP networks, see...
Page 32: Default Ip Address
Default IP Address When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold-reset), the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending on the network environment.
Page 33 Internet will not be available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address. If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server will automatically reassign its address, if necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing methods.
Page 34 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: ●...
Page 35 For more information, see ● 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 ● Printer Control Panel. You can manually enter the configuration data using the printer control panel keys.
Page 36: Using Bootp/Tftp
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IP network operation. When powered on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration data for the Jetdirect print server.
Page 37 In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and may change over time. When in its factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will attempt to automatically configure itself using several dynamic methods, one of which is BOOTP.
Page 38 TFTP is used to obtain additional configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server. When the HP Jetdirect print server is powered on, it broadcasts a BOOTP request that contains its MAC (hardware) address. A BOOTP server daemon searches the /etc/bootptab file for a matching MAC address, and if successful, sends the corresponding configuration data to the Jetdirect print server as a BOOTP reply.
Page 39 Bootptab File Entries An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for an HP Jetdirect print server is provided below: picasso:\ :hn:\ :ht=ether:\ :vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=0001E6123456:\ :ip=192.168.40.39:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:\ :gw=192.168.40.1:\ :lg=192.168.40.3:\ :T144=“hpnp/picasso.cfg”: Note that the configuration data contains “tags” to identify the various HP Jetdirect parameters and their settings. Entries and tags supported by the HP Jetdirect print server are listed in 3.1.

Page 49 TCP/IP Access Control allow: netnum [mask] Makes an entry into the host access list stored on the HP Jetdirect print server. Each entry specifies a host or network of hosts that are allowed to connect to the printer. The format is “allow: netnum [mask]” where netnum is a network number or host IP address, and mask is an address mask of bits applied to the network number and host address to verify access.
Page 50 Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (5 of 10) slp-keep-alive: Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast packets on the network to prevent being deleted from network device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as switches, may delete active devices from their device tables due to inactivity on the network.

Page 52 (set-community-name:) Specifies a password that determines which SNMP SetRequests (control functions) the HP Jetdirect print server will respond to. The community name of an incoming SNMP SetRequest must match the print server’s “set community name” for the print server to respond. (For additional security, you may limit configuration access through the print server’s host access list).
Page 53 (default), EN_SNAP, EN_8022, EN_8023, EN_II, TR_8022, TR_SNAP. ipx-sapinterval: Specifies the time interval (1 to 3600 seconds) that the HP Jetdirect print server waits between Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) broadcasts on the network. The default is 60 seconds. 0 disables SAP broadcasts.
Page 54 An alphanumeric string, up to 256 characters, that specifies the NDS context for the HP Jetdirect print server. ipx-job-poll: Specifies the time interval (seconds) that the HP Jetdirect print server will wait to check for print jobs in a print queue. pjl-banner: (ipx-banner:) Enables or disables printing an IPX banner page.
Page 55 Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (10 of 10) upgrade: To configure one or more Jetdirect print servers with the name and location of a firmware upgrade file. CAUTION: Ensure that command parameters are properly entered and that the upgrade file is a higher version than the currently installed version. The print server will attempt to upgrade when the upgrade file contains a higher version than the installed version.
Page 56: Using Dhcp
Using DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically obtains its IP address...
Page 57 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. 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”.
Page 58 7. In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then select OK. HP recommends that all printers be assigned infinite leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases.
Page 59 8. Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the previous step. Otherwise, select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients. For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that printer: a.
Page 60 You must now provide the IP address of the WINS server by doing the following: Select Value, then Edit Array. ● From the IP Address Array Editor, select Remove to ● delete any undesired addresses previously set. Then type in the IP address of the WINS server and select Add.
Page 61 Then click Next. 8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then click Next. HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. This can be accomplished after you set up the scope (see step 11).
Page 62 12. Close the DHCP manager utility. NetWare Systems NetWare 5.x servers provide DHCP configuration services for network clients, including the HP Jetdirect print server. To set up DHCP services on a NetWare server, refer to Novell documentation and support. To Discontinue DHCP Configuration...
Page 63 If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP-configured parameters are released and the TCP/IP protocol is initialized. If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP-configured IP address is released and the user-specified IP parameters are used. Therefore, if you manually provide the IP address, you should also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and idle timeout.
Page 64: Using Rarp
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems. This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP request from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server. 1. Turn the printer off.
Page 65 7. Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print server. For example: 00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1 If your system uses Network Information Service...
Page 66: Using The Arp And Ping Commands
Using the arp and ping Commands You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print server.
Page 67 Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format. For example: ● For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003 arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98 ping 192.168.45.39 ● For UNIX arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98 ping 192.168.45.39 Once the IP address has been set on the print server, Note additional arp and ping commands will be ignored.
Page 68: Using Telnet
HP Web Jetadmin software). Creating a Telnet Connection To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your workstation to the print server. If the print server and your computer must have a similar IP address, that is, the network portion of their IP addresses match, chances are that a route will exist.
Page 69 where is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and is the IP address of the workstation's network card that is attached to the same physical LAN as the print server.

That task can be performed by higher level protocols and applications thereby allowing IP communications to be efficient. Each node or device that will communicate directly onto the network requires an IP address, including HP Jetdirect-connected devices. ENWW...
Page 206: Ip Address
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) TCP handles breaking the data into packets and recombining the packets on the receiving end by providing a connection-oriented, reliable, and guaranteed delivery service to another node on the network. When data packets are received at their destination, TCP calculates a checksum for each packet to verify the data is not corrupt.
Page 207 IP Address: (Network Portion) Network addresses are managed by an organization in Norfolk, Virginia recognized as InterNIC. InterNIC has been contracted by the National Science Foundation to manage the Internet addresses and domains. Network addresses are distributed to organizations that are in turn responsible for making sure all attached devices or hosts on the network are properly numbered.
Page 208 IP Address Structure and Class An IP address is comprised of 32 bits of information and divided into 4 sections containing 1 byte each section or 4 bytes total: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx For efficiency in routing, networks were broken down into three classes, so routing can begin simply by identifying the leading byte of information in the IP address.
Page 209: Configuring Ip Parameters
For configuration methods, see Chapter When powered on, a new HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the network will automatically assign itself a default IP address. The default IP address will depend on the type of network to which the print server is connected.
Page 210: Subnets
Subnets When an IP network address for a particular network class is assigned to an organization, no provision is made for more than one network being present at that location. Local network administrators use subnets to partition a network into several different subnetworks.

The messages are processed depending on their priority and on how syslogd is set up to operate. You can configure the HP Jetdirect print server with the syslog server’s IP address. When a syslog server is configured, both the HP Jetdirect print server and attached device can send syslog messages using UDP.
Page 212 The HP Jetdirect print server attempts to eliminate duplicate messages (to minimize unnecessary network traffic). ● The volume of messages sent by the HP Jetdirect print server is configurable.
