TCP/IP Configuration 33

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
projector server lease durations to “infinite”. This ensures that server IP
addresses remain static until dynamic domain name services are provided.

Windows Systems

HP Jetdirect projector 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 projector server automatically sends a BOOTP or DHCP
request for its IP configuration. If properly set up, a Windows DHCP server
will respond with the projector 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 projectors be assigned IP addresses
with infinite leases or reserved IP addresses.
