TCP/IP Configuration 56

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 
from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001 
and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as a WINS 
(Windows Internet Naming Service) server IP address has been 
specified. 

A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also 
be used with DHCP to configure extended parameters. For more 
information on TFTP parameters, see “Using BOOTP/TFTP”.

Note

DHCP services must be available on the server. 
Refer to your system documentation or online help 
to install or enable DHCP services.

Note

If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP 
server are located on different subnets, IP 
configuration may fail unless the routing device 
allows the transfer of DHCP requests between 
subnets.
