TCP/IP Configuration 32

Using DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of
several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect projector server
uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect projector
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 projector 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.
