TCP/IP Configuration 57

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.

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”. This 
ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until dynamic 
domain name services are provided.

Windows Systems

HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a 
supported 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 or 
DHCP operation and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print 
server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP request for its IP 
configuration. If properly set up, a Windows DHCP server will 
respond with the print server’s IP configuration data.

Note

This information is provided as an overview. For 
specific information or for additional support, see 
the information supplied with your DHCP server 
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.
