Page 25: Tcp/Ip Configuration
TCP/IP configuration To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, you must configure the HP Jetdirect print server with valid TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network. The HP Jetdirect print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as in previous HP Jetdirect products.
Page 26: Ipv6 Address Configuration
However, the use of two colons to represent successive zero fields can be used only once in an address. IPv6 addresses are often specified by a prefix that identifies a fixed value associated with the first part of the address, followed by a prefix length that specifies the number of bits in the prefix. In IPv6 addressing, a prefix length of 64 typically specifies a network or subnet.
Page 27: Stateless Addresses
Stateless addresses Stateless addresses are usually assigned to the print server under router control, and not by a server, such as a DHCPv6 server. However, the router can specify that other configuration be provided by a server. The print server must receive periodic router advertisement messages. These messages contain one or more IPv6 prefix options, and they can specify 64–bit local subnets, or a default route.
Page 28: Tools And Utilities
Tools and utilities System tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or troubleshoot communications with the print server. The following are some examples: ● ipconfig /all or ipv6 if Identify IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system. An interface IPv6 address can contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for example, %3) that is appended to a link-local IPv6 address.
Page 29: Default Ip Address (Ipv4)
management software. Manually assigned TCP/IP configuration values are retained when the print server is turned off, and then turned on. You can configure the print server to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP settings at any time. To identify the print server's configured IP address, see the HP Jetdirect configuration page. Default IP address (IPv4) When in a factory-default state, the HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address.
Page 30: Default Ipv4 Address Configuration Options
To determine the IP address configured on your print server, use the HP Jetdirect configuration page. HP Jetdirect configuration pages on page 139. Default IP on wireless and wired print servers Wired and wireless print servers can have different default IP configuration results: ●...
Page 31: Default Ipv4 Behavior
Default IPv4 behavior When turned on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired), retrieves its IPv4 settings by systematically using BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP. This can take several minutes to complete. If configuration fails, a default IPv4 address is assigned. Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication might not function without modification.
Page 32: Use Bootp/Tftp (Ipv4)
limited subset of the configuration parameters, 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 turned off and then turned on. For more information, see “Use the printer control panel on page 61”.
Page 33 Systems using network information service (NIS) If your system uses NIS, you might need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP service before performing the BOOTP configuration steps. See your system documentation. Configure the BOOTP server For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP servers must have the appropriate configuration files.
Page 34 Entries and tags supported by the HP Jetdirect print server are listed in the following table: Table 3-1 Tags supported in a BOOTP/DHCP boot file Item RFC 2132 Description Option nodename Peripheral name.
