ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 62
Using DHCP
Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section
assumes that a wireless connection to your network
has been established.
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.
