1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server
HP Jetdirect print servers allow you to connect printers and other devices directly to a network. By
attaching a device directly to a network, you can install it in a convenient location and share it with
multiple users. In addition, a network connection allows data transfers to or from the device at network
speeds.
●
HP Jetdirect embedded print servers are integrated with a supported printer or multifunction
peripheral (MFP). Because they are built directly into the printer's mother board, the print server
cannot be independently purchased or replaced. However, depending on the printer (or MFP), they
are assigned an HP part number for compatibility and identification purposes.
●
HP Jetdirect EIO internal print servers are modular I/O cards installed in HP printers (or MFPs) that
have a compatible enhanced input/output (EIO) slot.
●
HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers (or MFPs) to the network by adapting a printer's
input/output connector, such as a USB port, to the network.
NOTE Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in this manual refers to an HP Jetdirect
print server and not a separate computer running print server software.
Supported Print Servers
The features and capabilities of HP Jetdirect print servers depend on the print server's product model
and its operating firmware version. This manual describes features and capabilities for the product
models listed in the following table.

Table 1-2 Supported Network Protocols (continued)
ENWW Supported Network Protocols 3
Page 14
Security Protocols
SNMP (IP and IPX)
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network management applications for device
management. HP Jetdirect print servers support access to SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management
Information Base) objects on IPv4, IPv6 and IPX networks.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent, and an SNMP v3 agent for
enhanced security.
HTTPS
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support HTTPS (Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) for
secure, encrypted management communications between the embedded Web server and your Web
browser.
Authentication
EAP/802.1X Server-Based Authentication
As a network client, HP Jetdirect full-featured print servers support network access using the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) on an IEEE 802.1X network. The IEEE 802.1X standard provides a portbased authentication protocol where a network port can allow or block access depending on client
authentication results.
When using an 802.1X connection, the print server supports Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
with an authentication server, such as a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service, RFC
2138) server.
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers support the following EAP/802.1X methods:
●
PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP is a mutual authentication protocol
that uses digital certificates for network server authentication and passwords for client
authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS
(Transport Layer Security). Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.
●
EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716). EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication
protocol based on X.509v3–compliant digital certificates for authentication of both the client and
the network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.
The network infrastructure device that connects the print server to the network (such as a network
switch) must also support the EAP/802.1X method used. In cooperation with the authentication server,
the infrastructure device can control the degree of network access and services available to the print
server client.
To configure the print server for EAP/802.1X authentication, you must access the embedded Web server
through your Web browser. For more information, see
HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx).
4 Chapter 1 Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server ENWW
Page 15
IPsec/Firewall
Depending on the print server product and the printer/MFP in which it is installed, IP traffic may be
controlled (processed or discarded) by using the Internet Protocol security (IPsec, RFC 2401) or Firewall
features on the print server.
●
Print servers and printers/MFPs that support IPsec may control IP traffic using both Firewall and
IPsec protection.
●
If IPsec is not supported, then IP traffic may be controlled using Firewall protection.
IPsec/Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The Firewall
provides simple control of IP addresses that are permitted access. IPsec provides the additional security
benefits of authentication and encryption,
To help you configure the print server for IPsec/Firewall operation, a browser-based wizard is provided
that is accessed through the embedded Web server. For more information, see
IPsec/Firewall
Configuration (V.34.xx).

HP Install Network Printer Wizard (Windows)
The HP Install Network Printer Wizard is a utility for printer discovery, setup and installation on a TCP/
IP network. On Windows XP and 2003 Server systems, Version 5.0 also supports printing on an IPv6
network, but printer discovery is limited to IPv4 protocols. Version 6.0 supports printer discovery on an
IPv6 network.
For wireless print servers, the wizard includes modules that allow you to first configure wireless settings
on the print server so that it can connect to your network.
Once your printers have a network connection (either through a cabled/wired connection or a wireless
connection), the wizard installs the printer on your systems or servers that will send print jobs directly
to the printer. This is called “direct-mode”, or “peer-to-peer” printing.
If your system is a server, you can share the printer so that network clients can use the printer through
the server, also known as “client-server” printing.

Microsoft Supplied Software
NOTE Contact Microsoft for support of Windows IPP software.
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 Integrated Software
On Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 systems, an alternative to using the HP supplied software is to use
the IPP-client software integrated with the Windows system. The IPP implementation on the HP Jetdirect
print server is compatible with the Windows system IPP-client software.
To set up a print path to an HP Jetdirect-connected Internet printer using the Windows 2000/XP IPPclient software, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Printers folder (click Start, select Settings, and select Printers).
2. Run the Add Printer wizard (double-click Add Printer), then click Next.
3. Select the option for a Network printer and click Next.
4. Select Connect to a printer on the Internet and enter the print server's URL:
http://IP_address[/ipp/port#]
where IP_address is the IPv4 address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server. [/ipp/
port#] identifies the port number, which is port 1 for single-port print servers (default is /ipp/port1).
Example:
http://192.160.45.40
An IPP connection to an HP Jetdirect print server with IPv4 address 192.160.45.40. (“/ipp/
port1” is assumed and not required.)
NOTE For a Secure IPP connection, replace http:// with https:// in the URL string
above.
Click Next.
5. You will be prompted for a printer driver (the HP Jetdirect print server does not contain printer
drivers, so your system cannot automatically obtain the driver). Click OK to install the printer driver
onto your system and follow the instructions on the screen. (You may need your printer CD-ROM
to install the driver.)
6. To complete the print path setup, follow the instructions on the screen.

Software Tools
NOTE For more information on Mac OS solutions, visit: http://www.hp.com/go/mac
●
For Mac OS Classic systems, the HP LaserJet Utility provides configuration and management of
your HP Jetdirect-connected printers/MFPs on AppleTalk (EtherTalk) networks.
●
For printer/MFP configuration and management from Mac OS X v10.2 and later, use one of the
following:
❑
The HP Printer Utility (for supported printers only) may be used on TCP/IP and AppleTalk
(EtherTalk) networks.
❑
The embedded Web server on the printer/MFP device may be accessed from your browser
(such as Safari) by entering the IP address or host name of the device as the URL address.
●
On Mac OS X v10.2 and later, use your system utilities, such as Apple's Print Center or Bonjour
(mDNS) applications for TCP/IP Printing. See the next section for an example of using Bonjour
(formerly known as Rendezvous).
Using Bonjour (Mac OS X v10.4)
HP Jetdirect print servers support mDNS (multicast Domain Name System) protocols that are
compatible with Bonjour (formerly known as Rendezvous) technology for printer discovery and
installation over a TCP/IP network.
NOTE For a Mac OS X v10.4 system, the printer must be on the same network segment, that
is, not across a router.
In addition, the Network Port Configurations setting must have the appropriate network port
enabled (for example, Built-in Ethernet is active) and is listed at the top of the ports list.
To uniquely identify a printer on a network that contains many printers, print a Jetdirect
Configuration page from the printer control panel. That page will contain unique identification
information for the printer.
To use Bonjour for printer discovery and network configuration through the embedded Web server
directly:
1. Open Safari and click the bookmark icon.
2. In the bookmark list, select Bonjour. A list of discovered printers is displayed.
3. Identify and select your printer. A string of hexadecimal digits will be listed with the printer. These
digits should match the LAN hardware address (or the last 6 digits of the address) on the Jetdirect
configuration page for the printer.
4. Double-click the printer to access the embedded Web server on the printer. Configure your desired
network settings using the Networking tab.

3 TCP/IP Configuration
To operate properly on a TCP/IP network, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with valid
TCP/IP network configuration parameters, such as an IP address that is valid for your network.
HP Jetdirect print server supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks simultaneously. Print server
configuration for IPv4 operation remains the same as prior Jetdirect products.
IPv6 Configuration
HP Jetdirect print servers provide basic configuration capabilities for operation on an Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6) network. For IPv6 printing services, the print server supports raw IP printing (through
HP-proprietary TCP port 9100), LPD printing (through standard TCP port 515), IPP printing (through
standard TCP port 631), and FTP printing (through standard TCP ports 20, 21).
The print server supports remote configuration by DHCPv6 servers and IPv6 routers. In addition, it
supports remote configuration and management from a Web browser over HTTP or HTTPS. Local
configuration of basic IPv6 parameters is available through the printer control panel if supported by the
printer/MFP device.
IPv6 Address Introduction
An IPv6 address consists of 128 bits. The normal format of an IPv6 address is eight fields, each
separated by a colon (:). Each field contains four hexadecimal digits representing 16 bits:
hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh:hhhh
where h is a hexadecimal digit 1 through 0, A through F. This is sometimes called colon hexadecimal
format.
Depending on the application, an IPv6 address may be entered or displayed using a shortened version
when successive fields contain all zeros (0). In this case, two colons (::) are used. In addition, leading
zeros in a field can be omitted. For example, the following IPv6 address:
2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0200:bb02
may be entered or displayed as
2001:DB8::200:bb02
However, the use of two colons to represent successive zero fields can be used only once in an address.
IPv6 addresses are often specified by a prefix that identifies a fixed value associated with the first part
of the address, followed by a prefix length that specifies the number of bits in the prefix. In IPv6
addressing, a prefix length of 64 is typically used to specify a network or subnet. A prefix with a prefix
length less than 64 typically identifies a portion of the IPv6 address space or a route.
ENWW IPv6 Configuration 17
Page 28
For example, portions of the IPv6 address space that are reserved are illustrated below:
●
2001:DB8::/32 (reserved for use only as examples in documentation)
●
FE80::/10 (reserved for link-local addresses only)
IPv6 addresses do not use subnet masks as in IPv4 formats. Instead, the prefix length may be used to
specify an entire network/subnet. Or, it may be used to specify the network portion of a complete host
address. For example, in the following host address:
2001:DB8:1234:5678:abcd::ef01/64
/64 is the prefix length and indicates that 2001:DB8:1234:5678 is the network/subnet for the specific
host uniquely identified by abcd::ef01.
For a more thorough discussion of IPv6 address formats and types, refer to the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) IPv6 RFCs, or see the documentation supplied with your IPv6–supported system or
router.
IPv6 Address Configuration
While IPv6 addresses are relatively complex, most IPv6 addresses for the print server are automatically
configured in accordance with the IPv6 standards. If necessary, the print server will allow a manuallyconfigured IPv6 address (for example, through the printer control panel or embedded Web server). If
the print server is enabled for IPv6 operation, all IPv6 addresses that are automatically configured are
active; however, a manually-configured address is disabled by default and must be manually enabled.
Stateless addresses assigned to the print server are under the control of a router. Stateful addresses
are normally assigned by a DHCPv6 server under the direction of a router; however, the print server
can be configured to always use stateful configuration, or to use stateful configuration if stateless
configuration fails.
Link-Local Address
IPv6 link-local addresses are automatically self-configured and allow IPv6 communications between
hosts connected to the same link (routers do not forward link-local addresses). Because each IPv6 host
on a local network will assign itself a link-local address, a router-based infrastucture is not required.
When the print server creates a link-local address, the link-local prefix FE80::/10 is combined with a
64-bit host address (derived from the print server's MAC address) in accordance with a predefined
algorithm.
For example, a print server with MAC address 00–0E-7F-E8–01–DD results in the following link-local
address:
FE80::20e:7FFF:FEE8:1DD
The use of link-local IPv6 addressing is particularly attractive for small, configuration-free networks.
Stateless Addresses
Stateless addresses are usually assigned to the print server under router control, and not by a server
(such as a DHCPv6 server). However, the router can specify that other configuration be provided by a
server.
18 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 29
The print server must receive Router Advertisement messages which are periodically sent by a router.
These messages, among other things, contain one or more IPv6 prefix options (for example, specifying
64–bit local subnets, or a default route). These prefixes are combined with a 64-bit host address (derived
from the print server's MAC address) to form the IPv6 stateless addresses configured on the print server.
Stateless addressing may be preferred for networks that require traffic to be routed but with minimal
network configuration.
Stateful Addresses
A DHCPv6 server configures stateful IPv6 addresses on HP Jetdirect print servers. A DHCPv6 policy
on the print server determines when a DHCPv6 server is to be used for stateful configuration. You can
select one of the following DHCPv6 policies for the print server to use:
●
Under router control: DHCPv6 stateful configuration will be used when requested by the router.
●
Stateless configuration fails: Use DHCPv6 stateful configuration if stateless configuration fails.
●
Always use DHCPv6: On startup, always use DHCPv6 for stateful configuration.
Stateful configuration is useful when host configuration beyond what a router can provide is necessary
(such as a domain name or DNS server addresses).
Using DNS
HP Jetdirect print servers support the configuration of IPv6 Domain Name System (DNS) servers for
the print server.
Due to IPv6 address length and complexity, specifying an IPv6 address in applications to identify or
search for a device may be cumbersome. Some client applications may not even support the direct entry
of an IPv6 address. However, name resolution may be available for the print server provided the
appropriate IPv6 records are configured in DNS. If name resolution is supported, you can enter the print
server's host name or a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) when using these applications.
NOTE The print server does not support dynamic updates to DNS; IPv6 addresses will not be
automatically supplied to DNS servers.
ENWW IPv6 Configuration 19
Page 30
Tools and Utilities
Similar to IPv4 environments, system tools and utilities for IPv6 networks are available to access or
troubleshoot communications with the print server. However, these tools and utilities may require
different command formats depending on your system. Some examples are listed below.
●
ipconfig /all or ipv6 if: From the Windows command line prompt, these commands will identify
IPv6 addresses for various interfaces configured on the system. Note that an interface IPv6 address
may contain a ScopeID, which is an interface index identifier (for example, “%3”) appended to a
link-local IPv6 address.
●
ping6: From the Windows XP command line prompt, this command sends test packets to a remote
interface and reports response packets from that interface. The command format is:
NOTE On Windows Server 2003, the ping command may be used for an IPv6 address
by specifying the appropriate command option.
ping6 <IPv6 address><%ScopeID>
where <IPv6 address> is the address of the remote host interface (such as the print server).
The <%ScopeID> value may be needed to uniquely specify the interface on the local system if it
is configured with multiple link-local IPv6 addresses.
For example, if the print server's link-local IPv6 address is fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd, and the Windows
system contains a LAN interface with %3 appended to its link-local address, you would use the
following command:
ping6 fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd%3
Note that depending on the local interface used, a route to the remote host address may need to
be created.
●
IPv6 addresses as URL: As a URL in a Web browser, an IPv6 address must be enclosed in
brackets. For example, to access the print server's embedded Web server, enter:
http://[fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd]
where fe80::20e:7fff:fee8:1dd is the IPv6 address of the print server.
NOTE The browser must support direct IPv6 addressing as a URL, such as Mozilla Firefox
1.x. Your Microsoft Internet Explorer version may not support direct IPv6 addressing.
For detailed information on these and other tools, see your system documentation and help.
IPv4 Configuration
This section provides IPv4–specific configuration information for HP Jetdirect print servers on a TCP/
IPv4 network.
Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration (IPv4)
When in a factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will try to obtain its TCP/
IP configuration using a server-based method, such as BOOTP/TFTP, DHCP/TFTP, or RARP. These
server-based methods are described later in this chapter. Depending on the print server model, up to
two minutes may be used for these methods. If configuration is not successful, a default IP address will
be assigned.
20 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 31
The print server may also be configured manually. Manual-based tools include Telnet, a Web browser,
the printer control panel, arp and ping commands (when the default IP address is 192.0.0.192), or
SNMP-based management software. TCP/IP configuration values assigned manually will be retained
when powered off/on.
The print server can be reconfigured to use either server-based or manual configuration of TCP/IP
settings at any time.
To identify the IP address that is configured on the print server at any time, see the HP Jetdirect
configuration page.
Default IP Address (IPv4)
When in a factory-default state (for example, when shipped from the factory or after a cold-reset), the
HP Jetdirect print server has no IP address. A default IP address may or may not be assigned depending
on the network environment.
Default IP Address Will Not Be Assigned
A default IP address will not be assigned if a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) is
successful. And if the print server is powered off/on, the same method will again be used to retrieve IP
configuration settings. If this method now fails to retrieve the IP configuration settings (for example, the
BOOTP or DHCP server is no longer available), a default IP address will not be assigned. Instead, the
print server will continue to send IP configuration requests indefinitely. You must cold-reset the print
server to change this behavior.
In addition, a default IP address will not be assigned if a network cable is not attached to a wired print
server.
Default IP Address Will Be Assigned
A default IP address will be assigned if the factory-default methods fail, or if the print server has just
been reconfigured by an administrator to use a server-based method (such as BOOTP or DHCP) that
fails.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 21
Page 32
If a default IP address is assigned, the address will depend on the network to which the print server is
connected. The print server senses broadcast packets on the network to determine the appropriate
default IP settings:
●
On small private networks that adhere to automated, standards-based IP address assignments,
the print server uses a link-local addressing technique to assign a unique IP address. Link-local
addressing is limited to a local IP subnet (not routed) and may be referenced as Auto IP. The IP
address assigned will be in the range of 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 (commonly referenced
as 169.254/16). However, it can be further modified for your network using supported TCP/IP
configuration tools if necessary.
With link-local addresses, subnetting is not used. The subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0, and cannot
be changed.
Link-local addresses will not route off the local link, and access to or from the Internet will not be
available. The default gateway address will be the same as the link-local address.
If a duplicate address is sensed, the HP Jetdirect print server will automatically reassign its address,
if necessary, in accordance with standard link-local addressing methods.
●
On large or enterprise IP networks, a temporary address of 192.0.0.192 will be assigned until it is
reconfigured with a valid address through supported TCP/IP configuration tools. We refer to this
address as Legacy Default IP.
●
On mixed-environment networks, the self-assigned default IP address may be either 169.254/16
or 192.0.0.192. In this case, you should verify on the Jetdirect configuration page that the assigned
default IP address is as expected.
The IP address configured on your print server may be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect
configuration page for the print server. See
HP Jetdirect Configuration Pages.
Default IPv4 Address Configuration Options
Default IPv4 Parameter
A Default IP configuration parameter on the print server controls how the default IPv4 address is
assigned. Whenever the print server is unable to obtain an IP address during a forced TCP/IP
reconfiguration (for example, when manually configured to use BOOTP or DHCP), this parameter will
determine the default IPv4 address to use.
When the print server is in a factory-default state, this parameter is undefined.
If the print server is initially configured with a default IPv4 address (either a link-local IPv4 address or
the legacy default 192.0.0.192 IP address), the Default IP parameter will be set to either Auto IP or
Legacy Default IP to match.
The Default IP parameter can be changed through a supported configuration tool, such as Telnet, a
Web browser, a printer control panel, and SNMP management applications.
DHCP Requests Enable/Disable
When a default IPv4 address is assigned, you can configure the print server to send, or not send, periodic
DHCP requests. DHCP requests are used to retrieve IP configuration settings from a DHCP server on
the network. By default, this parameter is enabled, allowing DHCP requests to be transmitted. However,
this parameter may be disabled through supported configuration tools such as Telnet, a Web browser,
and SNMP management applications.
22 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 33
Default IPv4 Behavior
When powered on, a factory-default print server connected to a network through a cable (wired) will
systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IPv4 settings. Up to two minutes are used.
If configuration is not successful, a default IPv4 address will be assigned as described previously.
Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address on the print server for initial communication
may not work without modification. For the default IP address settings actually configured on the print
server, see the Jetdirect configuration page.
TCP/IP Configuration Tools
When a network connection has been established, an HP Jetdirect print server can be configured with
valid TCP/IP parameters for your network in the following ways:
●
Using Software. You can use installation, setup, and management software running on supported
systems. For more information see
HP Software Solutions Summary.
●
BOOTP/TFTP. You can download the data from a network-based server using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. For more
information, see “
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)”.
The BOOTP daemon, bootpd, must be running on a BOOTP server that is accessible by the printer.
●
DHCP/TFTP. You can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol) each time the printer is turned on. These protocols are supported on HP-UX,
Solaris, Linux, Windows 2000/Server 2003, NetWare and Mac OS systems. (Refer to your network
operating system manuals to verify that your server operating system supports DHCP.) For more
information, see “
Using DHCP (IPv4)”.
NOTE Linux and UNIX systems: For more information, 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 such time as Dynamic
Domain Name Services are provided.
●
RARP. A network-based server can use RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) to answer
the print server's RARP request and supplying the print server with the IP address. The RARP
method only allows you to configure the IP address. For more information, see “
Using RARP
(IPv4)”.
●
arp and ping commands. (For print servers configure with Legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192
only) You can use the arp and ping commands from your system. For more information, see
“
Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)”.
●
Telnet. You can set configuration parameters using Telnet. In order to set configuration
parameters, set up a Telnet connection from your system to the HP Jetdirect print server using the
default IP address. Once configured, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/
on. For more information, see “
Using Telnet (IPv4)”.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 23
Page 34
●
Embedded Web server. You can browse to the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print
server to set configuration parameters. For more information, see
HP Jetdirect Embedded Web
Server (V.34.xx).
●
Printer Control Panel. (For printers that support Jetdirect control panel menus) You can manually
enter the configuration data using the printer control panel keys. The control panel method allows
you to configure only a limited subset of configuration parameters. Therefore, control panel
configuration is recommended only during troubleshooting or for simple installations. If control
panel configuration is used, the print server saves the configuration when powered off/on. For more
information, see “
Using the Printer Control Panel”.
Using BOOTP/TFTP (IPv4)
BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to
automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IPv4 network operation. When powered
on, the Jetdirect print server sends a BOOTP request message onto the network. A properly configured
BOOTP server on the network will respond with a message that contains basic network configuration
data for the Jetdirect print server. The BOOTP server's response may also identify a file that contains
extended configuration data for the print server. The Jetdirect print server downloads this file using
TFTP. This TFTP configuration file may be located on the BOOTP server, or a separate TFTP server.
BOOTP/TFTP servers are typically UNIX or Linux systems. Windows 2000/Server 2003 and NetWare
servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Windows 2000/Server 2003 servers are configured through
Microsoft DHCP services (see
Using DHCP (IPv4)). However, Windows 2000/Server 2003 systems may
require third-party software for TFTP support. For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, refer to your
NetWare documentation.
NOTE If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP server are located on different subnets,
IPv4 configuration may fail unless the routing device supports “BOOTP Relay” (allows the transfer
of BOOTP requests between subnets).
Why Use BOOTP/TFTP?
Using BOOTP/TFTP to download configuration data has the following benefits:
●
Enhanced configuration control of the HP Jetdirect print server. Configuration by other methods,
such as a printer control panel, are limited to select parameters.
●
Ease of configuration management. Network configuration parameters for the entire network can
be in one location.
●
Ease of HP Jetdirect print server configuration. Complete network configuration can be
automatically downloaded each time the print server is powered on.
NOTE BOOTP operation is similar to DHCP, but the resulting IP parameters will be the same
when powered off/on. In DHCP, IP configuration parameters are leased and may change over
time.
When in its factory-default state and powered on, the HP Jetdirect print server will attempt to
automatically configure itself using several dynamic methods, one of which is BOOTP.
24 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 35
BOOTP/TFTP on UNIX
This section describes how to configure the print server using BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) services on UNIX servers. BOOTP and TFTP are used to download
network configuration data from a server to the HP Jetdirect print server over the network.
Systems That Use Network Information Service (NIS)
If your system uses NIS, you may need to rebuild the NIS map with the BOOTP service before performing
the BOOTP configuration steps. Refer to your system documentation.
Configuring the BOOTP Server
For the HP Jetdirect print server to obtain its configuration data over the network, the BOOTP/TFTP
servers must be set up with the appropriate configuration files. BOOTP is used by the print server to
obtain entries in the /etc/bootptab file on a BOOTP server, while TFTP is used to obtain additional
configuration information from a configuration file on a TFTP server.
When the HP Jetdirect print server is powered on, it broadcasts a BOOTP request that contains its MAC
(hardware) address. A BOOTP server daemon searches the /etc/bootptab file for a matching MAC
address, and if successful, sends the corresponding configuration data to the Jetdirect print server as
a BOOTP reply. The configuration data in the /etc/bootptab file must be properly entered. For a
description of entries, see “
Bootptab File Entries (IPv4)”.
The BOOTP reply may contain the name of a configuration file containing enhanced configuration
parameters. If the HP Jetdirect print server finds such a file, it will use TFTP to download the file and
configure itself with these parameters. For a description of entries, see “
TFTP Configuration File Entries
(IPv4)”. Configuration parameters retrieved through TFTP are optional.
NOTE HP recommends that the BOOTP server be located on the same subnet as the printers
it serves. BOOTP broadcast packets may not be forwarded by routers unless the routers
are properly configured.
Bootptab File Entries (IPv4)
An example of a /etc/bootptab file entry for IPv4 configuration of an HP Jetdirect print server is
provided below:

30 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 41
syslog-max:
Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute
basis. This setting allows administrators to control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If it's set to zero, the
number of syslog messages is not restricted.
syslog-priority:
Controls the filtering of syslog messages sent to the syslog server. The filter range is 0 to 8, with 0 being the most specific
and 8 the most general. Only messages that are lower than the filter level specified (or higher in priority) are reported. The
default is 8, messages of all priorities are sent. If 0, all syslog messages are disabled.
syslog-facility:
A code used to identify the source facility of a message (for example, to identify the source of selected messages during
troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of
local0 through local7 can be used to isolate individual or groups of print servers.
slp-config:
Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) operation on the print server: 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.
slp-keep-alive:
Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast packets on the network to prevent being deleted from network
device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as switches, may delete active devices from their device tables due to
inactivity on the network. To enable this feature, set a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. Set 0 to disable this feature.
ttl-slp:
Specifies the IP multicast “Time To Live” (TTL) setting for Service Location Protocol (SLP) packets. The default value is
4 hops (the number of routers from the local network). The range is 1–15. When set to a -1, multicast capability is disabled.
mdns-config:
Enables or disables Bonjour (formerly listed as Multicast Domain Name System, or mDNS) services. 0 disables, 1 (default)

enables.
NOTE If this parameter is disabled, other protocols that use multicast protocols, such as Bonjour and SLP, may also
be disabled without notification.
idle-timeout:
The number of seconds that an idle print data connection is allowed to remain open. Since the card supports only a single
TCP connection, the idle timeout balances the opportunity of a host to recover or complete a print job against the ability
of other hosts to access the printer. The acceptable values range from 0 to 3600 (1 hour). If “0” is typed, the timeout
mechanism is disabled. The default is 270 seconds.
user-timeout: (or telnet-timeout:)
An integer (1..3600) that specifies the number of seconds that your Telnet or FTP session can be idle before it will be
automatically disconnected. The default is 900 seconds. 0 disables the timeout.
CAUTION Small values, such as 1–5, may effectively disable the use of Telnet. A Telnet session may terminate
before any changes can be made.
ews-config: (or web:)
Enables or disables the print server's embedded Web server to change configuration values: 0 disables, 1 (default)
enables.
tcp-mss: (or subnets-local:)
Specifies the maximum segment size (MSS) that the HP Jetdirect print server will advertise for use when communicating
with local subnets (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more) or remote subnets (MSS=536 bytes):
0 (default): All networks are assumed to be local (Ethernet MSS=1460 bytes or more).
1: Use MSS=1460 bytes (or more) for subnets, and MSS=536 bytes for remote networks.
2: All networks are assumed to be remote (MSS=536 bytes), except the local subnet.
MSS affects performance by helping to prevent IP fragmentation that may result in data retransmission.
tcp-msl:
Specifies the maximum segment life (MSL) in seconds. The range is 5–120 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
telnet-config: (or telnet:)
If set to 0, this parameter instructs the print server not to allow incoming Telnet connections. To regain access, change
the setting in the TFTP configuration file and power cycle the print server, or cold reset the print server to factory default
values. If this parameter is set to 1, incoming Telnet connections are allowed.
default-ip:
Specifies the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an IP address from the network during a forced
TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when powered off/on or manually configured to use BOOTP/DHCP).
DEFAULT_IP: sets the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192.
AUTO_IP: sets a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x.
The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first powered on.
default-ip-dhcp:
Specifies whether DHCP requests will be periodically transmitted when a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or linklocal IP address 169.254.x.x has been automatically assigned.

statistical data on product use may be sent to HP. For HP to collect data, Internet access is required.
2: Prompt the user to allow sending data on initial access to the Networking tab of the embedded Web server. This is the
factory-default and cold-reset value. Once changed, this value cannot be re-selected.
1: Allows the sending of data to HP without prompting the user.
0: Disables sending data to HP without prompting the user.
web-refresh:
Specifies the time interval (1–99999 seconds) for embedded Web server diagnostic page updates. If set to 0, the refresh
rate is disabled.
SNMP
snmp-config:
Enables or disables SNMP operation on the print server. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables SNMP.
CAUTION Disabling SNMP will disable all SNMP agents (SNMP v1, v2, v3) as well as communications with HP
Web Jetadmin. In addition, firmware upgrades through current HP downloading utilities will be disabled.
get-cmnty-name: (or get-community-name:)
Specifies a password that determines which SNMP GetRequests the HP Jetdirect print server will respond to. This is
optional. If a user-specified get community name is set, the print server will respond to either a user-specified community
name or the factory-default. The community name must be ASCII characters. The maximum length is 255 characters.
set-cmnty-name: (or set-community-name:)
Specifies a password that determines which SNMP SetRequests (control functions) the HP Jetdirect print server will
respond to. The community name of an incoming SNMP SetRequest must match the print server's “set community name”
for the print server to respond. (For additional security, you may limit configuration access through the print server's host
access list). Community names must be ASCII characters. The maximum length is 255 characters.
auth-trap: (or authentication-trap:)
Configures the print server to send (on) or not send (off) SNMP authentication traps. Authentication traps indicate that an
SNMP request was received, but the community name check failed. The default is “on.”
trap-dest: (or trap-destination:)
Enters a host's IP address into the HP Jetdirect print server's SNMP trap destination list. The command format is:
trap-dest: ip-address [community name] [port number]
The default community name is “public”; the default SNMP port number is “162”. The port number cannot be specified
without a community name.
If a “trap-community-name” command is followed by “trap-dest” commands, the trap community name will be assigned to
those entries unless a different community name is specified in each “trap-dest” command.
To delete the table, use “trap-dest: 0”.
Table 3-2 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (continued)
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 33
Page 44
If the list is empty, the print server does not send SNMP traps. The list may contain up to six entries. The default SNMP
Trap Destination List is empty. To receive SNMP traps, the systems listed on the SNMP trap destination list must have a
trap daemon to listen to those traps.

Using DHCP (IPv4)
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
Table 3-2 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (continued)
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 35
Page 46
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 (IPv4)”.
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.
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.
If your HP-UX system does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP
implementation, 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 available.
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.
Windows 2000 Server/Server 2003
To set up a DHCP(IPv4) scope on a Windows 2000 server or Server 2003 system, perform the following
steps:
1. Run the Windows DHCP manager utility.
●
Windows 2000: Click Start, then select Settings and Control Panel. Open the
Administrative Tools folder and run the DHCP utility.
●
Server 2003: Click Start, then select Control Panel. Open the Administrative Tools folder
and run the DHCP utility.
2. In the DHCP window, locate and select your Windows server in the DHCP tree.
If your server is not listed in the tree, select DHCP and click the Action menu to add the server.
3. After selecting your server in the DHCP tree, click the Action menu and select New Scope. This
runs the Add New Scope Wizard.
36 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 47
4. In the Add New Scope Wizard, click Next.
5. Enter a Name and Description for this scope, then click Next.
6. Enter the range of IP addresses for this scope (beginning IP address and ending IP address). Also,
enter the subnet mask. then click Next.
NOTE If subnetting is used, the subnet maskdefines which portion of an IP address
specifies the subnet and which portion specifies the client device.
7. If applicable, enter the range of IP addresses within the scope to be excluded by the server. Then
click Next.
8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then click Next.
HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP addresses. This can be accomplished
after you set up the scope (see step 11).
9. Select No to configure DHCP options for this scope later. Then click Next.
To configure DHCP options now, select Yes and click Next.
a. If desired, specify the IP address of the router (or default gateway) to be used by clients. Then
click Next.
b. If desired, specify the Domain Name and DNS (Domain Name System) servers for clients.
Click Next.
c. If desired, specify WINS server names and IP addresses. Click Next.
d. Select Yes to activate the DHCP options now, and click Next.
10. You have successfully set up the DHCP scope on this server. Click Finish to close the wizard.
11. Configure your printer with a reserved IP address within the DHCP scope:
a. In the DHCP tree, open the folder for your scope and select Reservations.
b. Click the Action menu and select New Reservation.
c. Enter the appropriate information in each field, including the reserved IP address for your
printer. (Note: the MAC address for your HP Jetdirect-connected printer is available on the
HP Jetdirect configuration page.)
d. Under “Supported types”, select DHCP only, then click Add. (Note: Selecting Both or BOOTP
only will result in a configuration through BOOTP due to the sequence in which HP Jetdirect
print servers initiate configuration protocol requests.)
e. Specify another reserved client, or click Close. The reserved clients added will be displayed
in the Reservations folder for this scope.
12. Close the DHCP manager utility.
To Discontinue DHCP Configuration
CAUTION Changes to an IP address on your HP Jetdirect print server may require updates to
printer or system printing configurations for clients or servers.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 37
Page 48
If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured through DHCP, you must re-configure the
print server to use a different configuration method.
1. (For IPv4 configuration) If you use the printer control panel to set Manual or BOOTP configuration,
then DHCP will not be used.
2. You can use Telnet to set Manual (status indicates “User Specified”) or BOOTP configuration, then
DHCP will not be used.
3. You can manually modify the TCP/IP parameters through a supported Web browser using the
Jetdirect embedded Web server or HP Web Jetadmin.
If you change to BOOTP configuration, the DHCP-configured parameters are released and the TCP/IP
protocol is initialized.
If you change to Manual configuration, the DHCP-configured IP address is released and the userspecified IP parameters are used. Therefore, if you manually provide the IPv4 address, you should
also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway,
and idle timeout.
NOTE If you choose to re-enable a DHCP configuration, the print server will acquire its
configuration information from a DHCP server. This means that when you choose DHCP and
complete your configuration session (using Telnet, for example), the TCP/IP protocol for the print
server is re-initialized and all current configuration information is deleted. The print server then
attempts to acquire new configuration information by sending DHCP requests on the network to
a DHCP server.
For DHCP configuration through Telnet, refer to “Using Telnet (IPv4)” in this chapter.
Using RARP (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
(RARP) on UNIX and Linux systems.
This setup procedure enables the RARP daemon running on your system to respond to a RARP request
from the HP Jetdirect print server and to supply the IP address to the print server.
1. Turn the printer off.
2. Log onto your UNIX or Linux system as a superuser.
3. Make sure the RARP daemon is running on your system by typing the following command at the
system prompt:
ps -ef | grep rarpd (Unix)
ps ax | grep rarpd (BSD or Linux)
4. The system response should be similar to the following:
861 0.00.2 24 72 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
860 0.00.5 36 140 5 14:03 0:00 rarpd -a
5. If the system does not display a process number for the RARP daemon, see the rarpd man page
for instructions on starting the RARP daemon.
38 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 49
6. Edit the /etc/hosts file to add your designated IP address and node name for the HP Jetdirect
print server. For example:
192.168.45.39 laserjet1
7. Edit the /etc/ethers file (/etc/rarpd.conf file in HP-UX 10.20) to add the LAN hardware
address/station address (from the configuration page) and the node name for the HP Jetdirect print
server. For example:
00:01:E6:a8:b0:00 laserjet1
NOTE If your system uses Network Information Service (NIS), you need to incorporate
changes to the NIS host and ethers databases.
8. Turn the printer on.
9. To verify that the card is configured with the correct IP address, use the ping utility. At the prompt,
type:
ping <IP address>
where <IP address> is the assigned address from RARP.
10. If ping does not respond, see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print Server.
Using the arp and ping Commands (IPv4)
You can configure an HP Jetdirect print server with an IP address using an ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) command from a supported system. The protocol is not routable, that is, the workstation from
which the configuration is made must be located on the same network segment as the HP Jetdirect print
server.
Using the arp and ping commands with HP Jetdirect print servers requires the following:
●
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP operation
●
A legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 has been set on the print server
●
The LAN hardware (MAC) address of the HP Jetdirect print server (specified on an HP Jetdirect
configuration page
NOTE On some systems, superuser rights may be required for the arp command.
After an IP address is assigned through arp and ping commands, use other tools (such as Telnet,
embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software) to configure other IP parameters.
To configure a Jetdirect print server, use the following commands:
arp -s <IP address> <LAN hardware address>
ping <IP address>
where <IP address> is the desired IP address to be assigned to the print server. The arp command
writes the entries to the arp cache on the workstation, and the ping command configures the IP address
on the print server.
Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 39
Page 50
For example:
●
For Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00-01-E6-a2-31-98
ping 192.168.45.39
●
For UNIX
arp -s 192.168.45.39 00:01:E6:a2:31:98
ping 192.168.45.39
NOTE Once the IP address has been set on the print server, additional arp and ping
commands will be ignored. Once the IP address is configured, arp and ping cannot be used
unless the print server is reset to factory values (see
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print
Server).
On UNIX systems, the arp -s command may vary between different systems.
Some BSD-based systems expect the IP address (or host name) in reverse order. Other systems
may require additional parameters. See your system documentation for specific command
formats.
Using Telnet (IPv4)
This section describes how to configure the print server using Telnet.
NOTE The support and use of Telnet depends on the print server product and the printer/MFP
device in which it is installed. For value-featured print servers, Telnet may not be supported.
Although a Telnet connection may be protected by an administrator password, Telnet connections are
not secure. For networks with high security levels, Telnet connections can be disabled on the print server
using other tools (for example, TFTP, embedded Web server, or HP Web Jetadmin software).
Creating a Telnet Connection
To use Telnet commands with the HP Jetdirect print server, a route must be available from your
workstation to the print server. If the print server and your computer have a similar IP address, that is,
the network portion of their IPv4 addresses match, chances are that a route will exist.
If their IPv4 addresses do not match, then you can either change your workstation's IPv4 address to
match, or you can try an operating system command to create a route to the print server. (For example,
if the print server is configured with a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192, a route will not likely exist.)
On Windows systems, you can use the “route” command at a Windows command (DOS) prompt to
create a route to the print server.
For information on system command prompts, see your Windows online help. On Windows 2000/XP/
Server 2003 systems, it is in the Accessories folder in the Programs or All Programs folder.
To use the route command, you will also need the IPv4 address of your workstation. To view it, you can
enter the appropriate command at the command prompt:
C:\> ipconfig (on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003)
40 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 51
To create a route from the system command prompt, enter the following command:
route add <Jetdirect IP Address> <system IP Address>
where <Jetdirect IP address> is the IP address configured on the HP Jetdirect print server, and
<system IP address> is the IP address of the workstation's network card that is attached to the
same physical LAN as the print server.
For example, to create a route from your workstation with IP address 169.254.2.1 to a print server with
a default IP address of 192.0.0.192, try this command:
route add 192.0.0.192 169.254.2.1
CAUTION Using Telnet to manually set an IPv4 address will override dynamic IP configuration
(such as BOOTP, DHCP, or RARP), resulting in a static configuration. In a static configuration,
the IP values are fixed and the operation of BOOTP, DHCP, RARP and other dynamic
configuration methods may no longer function.
Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also reconfigure the subnet
mask and default gateway at the same time.
A Typical Telnet Session
Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 41
Page 52
To set configuration parameters, you must set up a Telnet session from your system to the HP Jetdirect
print server.
1. Type the following at the system prompt:
telnet <IP address>
where <IP address> is the IP address listed on the Jetdirect configuration page. See
HP Jetdirect
Configuration Pages.
2. A connection to the HP Jetdirect print server will be displayed. If the server responds with
“connected to IP address”, press Enter twice to make sure that the Telnet connection is initialized.
3. If prompted for a user name and password, enter the correct values.
By default, the Telnet interface does not require a user name or password. If an administrator
password has been set, you will be prompted for a user name and this password before you can
enter and save Telnet command settings.
4. By default, a Command Line interface is provided. To configure parameters using a Menu interface,
enter Menu. For more information, see “
User Interface Options”.
For a list of supported commands and parameters, see
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters.
User Interface Options
The HP Jetdirect print server provides two interface options to enter Telnet commands: a Command
Line Interface (Default) and a Menu Interface.
Command Line Interface (Default)
Using the Telnet command line interface, you can set configuration parameters using the following
procedures:
NOTE During a Telnet session, enter ? to view available configuration parameters, the correct
command format, and a list of commands.
To list additional (or advanced) commands, enter the command advanced before entering ?.
To display current configuration information, enter /.
1. At the Telnet prompt “>” type:
<parameter>: <value>
then press Enter, where <parameter> refers to the configuration parameter you are defining, and
<value> refers to the definitions you are assigning to that parameter. Each parameter entry is
followed by a carriage return.
See
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters for configuration parameters.
2. Repeat the previous step to set any additional configuration parameters.
3. When you have finished typing the configuration parameters, type exit or quit (depending on
your system).
When prompted whether to save settings that you have changed, enter Y (default) for Yes, or N for
No.
42 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 53
If you enter save instead of exit or quit, you will not be prompted to save settings.
Telnet Commands and Parameters.
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters lists the available
Telnet commands and parameters.
NOTE If a parameter is supplied dynamically (for example, from a BOOTP or DHCP server),
its value cannot be changed using Telnet without first setting Manual configuration. To set Manual
configuration, see the ip-config command.
Whenever you are manually changing an IP address, you should also reconfigure the subnet
mask and default gateway at the same time.
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters
Command Description
User Control Commands
?
Displays the Help and Telnet commands.
/ Displays current values.
menu Displays the Menu Interface for access to configuration parameters.
advanced Enables the Advanced commands. Help (?) will include the Advanced commands in the
list.
general Disables the Advanced commands. Help (?) will not include Advanced commands
(default).
save Save the configuration values and exit the session.
exit Exit the session.
export Export the settings to a file for editing, and importing through Telnet or TFTP (this command
is only supported by systems, such as UNIX, that support input/output redirection).
General
passwd
Set the administrator password (shared with the embedded Web server and HP Web
Jetadmin). For example, “passwd jd1234 jd1234” sets the password to jd1234. Note that
“jd1234” is entered twice for confirmation.
Up to 16 alphanumeric characters may be used. When initiating the next Telnet session,
you will be prompted for a user name and this password.
To clear the password, enter the command without password and confirmation entries.
Passwords may be cleared by a cold reset.
sys-location Alpha-numeric string (up to 255 characters), typically used to identify a location.
sys-contact Alpha-numeric string (up to 255 characters), typically used to identify the name of a network
or device administrator.
ssl-state Sets the print server's security level for Web communications:
1: Forced redirection to the HTTPS port. Only HTTPS (secure HTTP) communications can
be used.
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 43
Page 54
2: Disable forced redirection to HTTPS. Both HTTP and HTTPS communications can be
used.
security-reset Reset security settings on the print server to factory default values. 0 (default) does not
reset, 1 resets the security settings.
TCP/IP Main
host-name
Alphanumeric string (up to 32 characters), to assign or change the name of the network
device. For example,
“host-name printer1” assigns the name “printer1” to the device. The default host name is
NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.
ip-config Specify the configuration method:
manual: The print server will wait for IP parameters using manual tools (such as Telnet,
embedded Web server, control panel, installation/management software). Status will be
User Specified.
bootp: The print server will send BOOTP requests on the network for dynamic IP
configuration.
dhcp: The print server will send DHCP requests on the network for dynamic IP
configuration.
auto_ip: The print server will be automatically configured with a unique link-local address
169.254.x.x.
ipsec-config
firewall-config
The ipsec-config command is supported on print servers and printers that support both
IPsec and Firewall configurations. The firewall-config command is supported on print
servers that do not support IPsec, but allow Firewall configuration.
Use these commands to disable IPsec or Firewall operation on the print server after IPsec/
Firewall policies have been configured and enabled. IPsec/Firewall operation cannot be
enabled by this command; if IPsec/Firewall policies are enabled, the status will be “read
only”.
0: Disable IPsec/Firewall operation, if it is enabled.
1: (Read Only) Indicates IPsec/Firewall policies are configured and enabled. Use the
embedded Web server to configure and enable IPsec/Firewall policies.
ip IP address for the print server, in dotted notation. For example:
ip-config manual ip 192.168.45.39
where ip-config specifies manual configuration and ip manually sets the IP address
192.168.45.39 on the print server.
Specifying 0.0.0.0 clears the IP address.
If you exit and save a new IP address, it must be specified on the next Telnet connection.
subnet-mask A value (in dotted notation) that identifies the network and host portions of an IP address
in received messages. For example,
subnet-mask 255.255.255.0
stores the subnet mask value 255.255.255.0 on the print server. The value 0.0.0.0 disables
the subnet mask.
default-gw The IP address of a default gateway, in dotted notation. For example,
default-gw 192.168.40.1
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)
44 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 55
assigns 192.168.40.1 as the IP address of the default gateway for the print server.
NOTE If the HP Jetdirect print server is configured by DHCP and you manually
change the subnet mask or the default gateway address, you should manually
change the print server's IP address. This will release the DHCP-assigned
address back to the DHCP IP address pool.
Config Server (Read-only parameter) The IP address of the server (such as a BOOTP or DHCP server)
that last configured the IP address on the HP Jetdirect print server.
TFTP Server (Read-only parameter) The IP address of the TFTP server that provided TFTP parameters
to the HP Jetdirect print server.
TFTP Filename (Read-only parameter) The path and TFTP filename on the TFTP server. For example,
hpnp/printer1.cfg
domain-name The domain name for the device. For example,
domain-name support.hp.com
assigns support.hp.com as the domain name.
The domain name does not include the host name; it is not the Fully Qualified Domain
Name (such as printer1.support.hp.com).
pri-dns-svr IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.
sec-dns-svr IP address of a secondary DNS server to use if the primary DNS server is unavailable.
pri-wins-svr The IP address of the primary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server, in dotted
notation.
sec-wins-svr The IP address of the secondary Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server, in
dotted notation.
TCP/IP Print Options
9100-printing
Enables or disables printing to TCP port 9100 on the print server. 0 disables, 1 (default)
enables.
ftp-printing Enables or disables the ability to print through FTP. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. (TCP
ports 20, 21)
ipp-printing Enables or disables the ability to print using IPP. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. (TCP port
631)

ipp-job-acct Enable or disable job accounting for IPP printing. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.
interlock Specifies whether an acknowledgement (ACK) on all TCP packets is required before the
printer is allowed to close a Port 9100 print connection. A Port Number and Option value
are specified. For HP embedded print servers, the default Port Number is 1. Option value
0 (default) disables interlock, 1 enables. For example,
“interlock 1 1” specifies port 1, interlock enabled.
mult-tcp-conn (Restrict Multiple Ports) Enables or disables multiple TCP connections. Allows you to
restrict the use of multiple ports.
0 (default): allows multiple connections.
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)
ENWW IPv4 Configuration 45
Page 56
1: disables multiple connections.
buffer-packing Enables or disables buffer packing for TCP/IP packets.
1 (default): is normal, the data buffer is packed before sending to the printer.
0: disables buffer packing, data is sent to the printer as it is received.
write-mode Controls the setting of the TCP PSH flag for device-to-client data transfers.
0 (default): disables this option, flag is not set.
1: all-push option. The push bit is set in all data packets.
TCP/IP LPD Queues
addq
Adds a user-defined queue. The queue name (up to 32 displayable ASCII characters),
prepend string name, append string name, and processing queue (typically, RAW) must
be specified in the command line. Up to six user-defined queues may be added.
CAUTION Avoid the differentiation of queue names through the use of lower-
and upper-case characters only. Otherwise, management of LPD queues by other
tools may yield unpredictable results.
deleteq Delete a user-specified queue. The queue name must be specified in the deleteq command
line.
defaultq Name of the queue to be used if the queue specified for a print job is unknown. By default,
the default queue is AUTO.
addstring Adds a user-defined character string that may be prepended or appended to print data.
Up to eight character strings may be specified. A string name and the character string
contents are specified in the addstring command line.
deletestring Deletes a user-defined string. The string name is specified in the deletestring command
line.
TCP/IP Raw Print Ports
raw-port
Specifies additional ports for printing to TCP port 9100. Valid ports are 3000 to 9000, which
are application-dependent. Up to two ports can be specified.
TCP/IP Access Control
allow
Makes an entry into the host access list stored on the HP Jetdirect print server. Each entry
specifies a host or network of hosts that are allowed to connect to the printer. The format
is “allow netnum [mask]” where netnum is a network number or host IP address, and mask
is an address mask of bits applied to the network number and host address to verify access.
Up to 10 access list entries are allowed. If there are no entries, all hosts are permitted
access. For example,
allow 192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 — allows hosts on network 192.
allow 192.168.1.2 — allows a single host. In this case, the default mask
255.255.255.255 is assumed and is not required.
allow 0 — clears the host access list.
For additional information, see
Security Features (V.34.xx).
TCP/IP Other
syslog-config
Enables or disables syslog server operation on the print server: 0 disables, 1 (default)
enables. (UDP port 514)
Table 3-3 Telnet Commands and Parameters (continued)
46 Chapter 3 TCP/IP Configuration ENWW
Page 57
syslog-svr The syslog server's IP address in dotted notation. It specifies the server that the HP
Jetdirect print server sends syslog messages to. For example,
syslog-svr: 192.168.40.1
assigns 192.168.40.1 as the IP address of that server.
syslog-max Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the HP Jetdirect
print server on a per-minute basis. This setting allows administrators to control the log file
size. The default is 10 per minute. If it's set to zero, the number of syslog messages is not
restricted.
syslog-priority Controls the filtering of syslog messages sent to the syslog server. The filter range is 0 to
8, with 0 being the most specific and 8 the most general. Only messages that are lower
than the filter level specified (or higher in priority) are reported. The default setting is 8,
where messages of all priorities are sent.
If 0, all syslog messages are disabled.
syslog-facility A code used to identify the source facility of a message (for example, to identify the source
of selected messages during troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server
uses LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of local0 through local7 can
be used to isolate individual or groups of print servers.
slp-config Enables or disables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) operation on the print server: 0
disables, 1 (default) enables. SLP is used by selected HP software applications (through
UDP port 427) to automate device discovery.
If SLP will use multicast protocols, Multicast IPv4 must be enabled.
slp-keep-alive Specifies a time period for the print server to send multicast packets on the network to
prevent being deleted from network device tables. Some infrastructure devices, such as
switches, may delete active devices from their device tables due to inactivity on the
network. To enable this feature, set a value from 1 to 1440 minutes. Set 0 to disable this
feature.
mdns-config Enables or disables Bonjour (formerly listed as Multicast Domain Name System, or mDNS)
services. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables. Bonjour is typically used for IP address and name
resolution (through UDP port 5353) where a conventional DNS server is not available.
For Bonjour operation, Multicast IPv4 must be enabled.
mdns-service-name Specifies an alphanumeric string of up to 64 ASCII characters assigned to this device or
service. This name is persistent and is used to resolve a particular device or service if
socket information (such as the IP address) changes from session to session. Apple
Bonjour will display this service. The default service name is the printer model and the LAN
Hardware (MAC) address.

To reset all parameters to factory default values, refer to
Troubleshooting the HP Jetdirect Print
Server.
Moving to Another Network (IPv4)
When moving an HP Jetdirect print server that is configured with an IP address to a new network, make
sure that the IP address does not conflict with addresses on the new network. You may change the IP
address of the print server to one that can be used on the new network, or erase the current IP address
and configure another address after it is installed on the new network. See
Troubleshooting the HP
Jetdirect Print Server for instructions to reset the print server to factory default settings.
If the current BOOTP server is not reachable, you may need to locate a different BOOTP server and
configure the printer to this server.
If the print server was configured using BOOTP, DHCP or RARP, edit the appropriate system files with
updated settings. If the IP address was manually set (for example, from the printer control panel or
Telnet), reconfigure IP parameters as described in this chapter.
Using the Embedded Web Server
You can use the embedded Web server on the HP Jetdirect print server to configure or view IPv4 and
IPv6 parameters. For more information, refer to
HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx).
Using the Printer Control Panel
When supported by the printer, HP Jetdirect print servers provide a configuration menu that can be
accessed from the printer's control panel. Using this menu, you can enable or disable network protocols
and set basic network parameters.
NOTE For instructions on using the control panel for your printer, refer to your printer
documentation.
Depending on the HP Jetdirect print server and printer, configuration of selected IPv4/IPv6 and
IPsec networking parameters through the control panel is supported.
When accessing the HP Jetdirect menu from the printer's control panel, some TCP/IP network
configuration parameters that you can set include the following (see
The HP Jetdirect Control Panel
Menu (V.34.xx) for additional parameters):
●
IP host name
●
TCP/IPv4 settings
●
TCP/IPv6 settings
●

4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.
34.xx)
HP Jetdirect print servers contain an embedded Web server that can be accessed from a compatible
Web browser over an intranet. The embedded Web server provides access to configuration and
management pages for the HP Jetdirect print server and the attached network device, such as a printer
or multifunction peripheral (MFP) device.
Tabs across the upper portion of your browser window provide access to device and networking pages.
The tabs and functions displayed will vary depending on the capabilities of the device and the HP
Jetdirect print server firmware version.
For a description of the device pages, see the embedded Web server documentation supplied with your
printer or MFP device.
The Networking tab is displayed and controlled by the Jetdirect print server.

Supported HP Web Jetadmin Version
HP Web Jetadmin is a browser-based, enterprise management tool for network devices. It is available
from HP online support at the following URL:
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin
To make use of improved security features, HP Web Jetadmin version 8.0 or greater is recommended
for operation with the HP Jetdirect embedded Web server. Using HP Web Jetadmin, you can enable
the IPv4/IPv6 SNMP v3 agent and seamlessly create an SNMP v3 account on the print server.
NOTE HP Web Jetadmin 8.0 does not support SNMP configuration over IPv6 protocols.
However, Jetdirect MIB configuration objects (such as IPv6 and IPsec objects) may be viewed
over IPv4.
A link to HP Web Jetadmin will be displayed on the embedded Web server if HP Web Jetadmin has
discovered this device through an Integration URL.
Currently, browser support between HP Web Jetadmin and the embedded Web server may differ. For
supported browsers with HP Web Jetadmin, visit
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin.
Viewing the Embedded Web Server
Before you can use the embedded Web server, the HP Jetdirect print server must be configured with
an IP address.
Using IPv6 protocols, IPv6 addresses are typically configured automatically on the print server, although
manual configuration is available. For basic information on IPv6 addresses, see
TCP/IP
Configuration.
Using IPv4 protocols, there are many ways to configure an IPv4 address on the print server. For
example, you can automatically configure IP parameters over the network using BOOTP (Bootstrap
Protocol) or DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) each time the print server is turned on. Or,
you can manually configure IP parameters using the printer's control panel (for selected printers), Telnet,
the “arp” and “ping” commands, HP Web Jetadmin or other management software. For more information
on TCP/IP configuration options, see
TCP/IP Configuration.
When powered on, an HP Jetdirect print server that is unable to retrieve a valid IP address from the
network will automatically assign itself either a legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 or a link-local
address in the range 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. The IP address configured on your print server
can be determined by inspecting the Jetdirect configuration page for the print server. See
TCP/IP
Configuration for more information.
If the legacy default IPv4 address 192.0.0.192 has been assigned, you must temporarily set up your
computer with the same IP network number or establish a route to the print server before you can gain
access to the embedded Web server.
To access the embedded Web server, perform the following steps:
1. Run a supported Web browser.
ENWW Viewing the Embedded Web Server 61
Page 72
2. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the print server as the URL.
NOTE For browsers that support direct IPv6 address entries, an IPv6 address is typically
enclosed in brackets ([ ]). See your system documentation.
If you do not know the FQDN for the device (for example, printer1.support.hp.com), enter
the only the host name (in this example, printer1). Your system may be able to resolve an
IP address for the device.
Figure 4-2 Entering an IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name
3. If prompted with security alerts, click Yes to proceed.
By factory default, HP Jetdirect print servers and printers/MFPs with IPsec support are configured
as a secure site, using an X.509v3-compliant certificate installed on the print server for
identification. Encrypted browser communications through HTTPS (secure HTTP) is required for
initial access.
Although not recommended, you can use your Internet Options menu to configure your browser
to ignore security warnings if the print server is configured to operate through HTTPS. See
Mgmt.
Protocols.
4. An embedded Web server page will be displayed. The initial page displayed is typically served by
the printer/MFP device.

Summary
This tab provides a summary of the TCP/IP configuration. Items on this page are listed below.
Table 4-3 TCP/IP Summary tab
Item Description
Host Name Specifies the IP host name assigned to the device and stored on the HP Jetdirect print
server.
To configure a host name, see the Network Identification tab.
IPv4 status Indicates the status of IPv4 operation. IPv4 cannot be disabled from the embedded Web
server in this release.
Fully Qualified Domain Name (IPv4/
IPv6)
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of the device's host name and domain
name. Unless the network administrator segments domains into separate IPv4 and IPv6
hosts, the FQDN can be used on either IPv4 or IPv6 networks simultaneously.
IPv4 Address Identifies the IPv4 address, subnet mask and default gateway for the print server.
Config By Specifies how the IPv4 parameters were configured: DHCP, BOOTP, Manual, or Auto
IP.
DHCP Lease Time If DHCP is used for configuration, the duration of the DHCP IP address lease (in
seconds) for the print server will be displayed.
IPv6 Status Indicates the status of IPv6 operation. IPv6 can be enabled or disabled through the
embedded Web server.
Fully Qualified Domain Name (IPv6
only)
The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) consists of the device's host name and domain
name. Depending on the network architecture, it can be the same as, or different from,
the printer's IPv4 FQDN. If assigned, it applies to the IPv6 network only.
IPv6 Address list IPv6 addresses configured on the print server are listed. For each address, the following
items are specified:
●
Prefix length: identifies the number of bits that comprise the fixed portion of the
address. Typically, it is 64 and identifies network/subnet portion of the address.
●
Config By: identifies how the address was configured, such as auto-configuration
through link-local addressing, by a Router, by a DHCP(v6) server, or configured
manually.
66 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx) ENWW
Page 77
Item Description
●
Valid Lftm: The length of time (lifetime) that the address can be used, after which
the address becomes invalid. This value is determined during the autoconfiguration process.
●
Pref Lftm: The length of time (lifetime) that the address can be used without
limitation, but after which the address is deprecated — its use is discouraged. The
preferred lifetime is a subset of the valid lifetime. This value is determined during
the auto-configuration process.
Default Route Information If a router advertises itself to the print server as a default router on the local link, its IPv6
address and the length of time that it may be used are displayed.
Network Identification
This tab provides TCP/IP network identification . Items on this page are listed below.
Table 4-4 TCP/IP Network Identification tab
Item Description
Host Name Specifies a readable IP name (the SNMP SysName object) for the network device. The
name must start with a letter and can end in a letter or number, up to 32 ASCII characters.
The default name is NPIxxxxxx, where xxxxxx are the last six digits of the LAN hardware
(MAC) address.
Domain Name (IPv4/IPv6)
Domain Name (IPv6 only)
Specifies the name of the Domain Name System (DNS) domain that the HP Jetdirect
print server resides in (for example, support.hp.com). It does not include the host name;
it is not the Fully Qualified Domain Name (such as printer1.support.hp.com).
The IPv4 and IPv6 domain names may be the same or different depending on the
network. For example, a separate IPv6 domain name may be assigned on networks
where segmentation of IPv4 and IPv6 hosts is desirable. If an IPv6 Domain Name is
assigned, it applies to the IPv6 network only.
DNS (IPv4)
DNS (IPv6)
Use the fields provided to configure the print server with primary and secondary Domain
Name System (DNS) servers on your IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
Primary: Specify the IP address of the primary DNS (Domain Name System) server.
Secondary: Specify the IP address of a secondary DNS server to use if the primary DNS
server is unavailable.
DNS Suffixes A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) consists of a domain name appended to a host
name, and is used (for example, by DNS servers) to resolve an IP address associated
with a device.
The DNS suffix list is a list of domain names for the printer. If user-friendly host names
are used, a DNS suffix list may be created and stored on the print server to assist in
resolving the printer's host name with its IP address.
To add an entry to the suffix list, enter a domain name (text string) in the Add button
field, then click Add. To delete an entry from the list, select the entry and click Delete.
DNS suffix entries may consist of up to 256 alphanumeric characters and periods. The
DNS suffix list may contain up to 32 entries.
WINS (IPv4 only) Use the fields provided to configure the print server with preferred and alternate Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS) server on your IPv4 network. Like DNS, WINS provides
IP address and name resolution services for network computers and devices.
Preferred: Specify the IP address of the primary WINS server.
Table 4-3 TCP/IP Summary tab (continued)
ENWW Networking Tab 67
Page 78
Item Description
Alternate: Specify the IP address to be used for WINS if the preferred WINS Server is
unavailable.
Bonjour Use this section to specify the Bonjour Service Name (formerly listed as Multicast
Domain Name System, or mDNS, Service Name), or to identify the assigned Bonjour
Domain Name.
●
Bonjour Service Name: This name is persistent and is used to resolve a particular
device or service if socket information (such as the IP address) changes from
session to session.
The default service name is the printer model along with the last six digits of the
LAN Hardware (MAC) address. To change the name assigned to this device or
service, enter an alphanumeric string of up to 64 ASCII characters.
●
Bonjour Domain Name: (Read-only parameter) Specifies the Bonjour domain name
assigned to the device, in the form <host name>.local. If a host name has not been
assigned, the default host name NPIxxxxxx is used, where xxxxxx are the last 6
digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address.
TCP/IP(v4)
The TCP/IP(v4) tab allows you to configure basic IPv4 settings on the print server. For additional
parameters, see the Advanced tab.
Table 4-5 TCP/IP(v4) tab
Item Description
IP Configuration Method Selects the method that the HP Jetdirect print server will use for its IP configuration parameters:
BOOTP (default), DHCP, Manual, or Auto IP.
For BOOTP or DHCP, the IP parameters will be automatically configured by a BOOTP or DHCP
server each time the print server is powered on.
If you select Manual, then basic IP parameters can be manually entered using this Web page,
or using other available tools.
If you select Auto IP, then a unique link-local address 169.254.x.x will be assigned.
For more information, see
TCP/IP Configuration.
IP Address Use this field to manually assign the Internet Protocol address on the HP Jetdirect print server.
The IP address is a four byte (32-bit) address in the form “n.n.n.n”, where ‘n’ is a number from
0 to 255.
An IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate IP addresses on a
TCP/IP network are not allowed.
Subnet Mask If subnetting is used, use this field to manually assign a subnet mask. A subnet mask is a 32-
bit number that, when applied to an IP address, determines which bits specify the network and
subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node.
Default Gateway Identifies the IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or
subnetworks.

TCP/IP(v6)
Use the TCP/IP(v6) tab to enable IPv6 operation, view IPv6 auto-configuration addresses, or manually
configure IPv6 addresses. For basic information on IPv6 addresses on the print server, see
TCP/IP
Configuration. For additional parameters that can be configured, see the Advanced tab.
Table 4-6 TCP/IP(v6) tab
Item Description
IPv6 Enable Enter a check mark in this checkbox to enable IPv6 operation. Clear this checkbox to
disable IPv6.
Link-Local Address (Read only parameter) This item specifies the print server's IPv6 link-local address and
prefix length. Like other IPv6 hosts, the print server configures this address
automatically. The link-local address allows the print server to communicate with other
IPv6 hosts on the local link without routers.
Stateless Addresses (Read only parameters) The stateless addresses (and prefix lengths) configured on the
print server are listed. Stateless addresses are assigned under the control of a router.
DHCPv6 Addresses This section allows you to configure the DHCPv6 policy that the print server uses for
stateful addresses, assigned by a DHCPv6 server.
To set the DHCPv6 policy, select one of the following:
●
Perform DHCPv6 only when requested by a router: Allow the router to control
stateful addressing.
●
Perform DHCPv6 when stateless configuration is unsuccessful: Attempt to
use DHCPv6 if stateless addressing by a router fails.
●
Always perform DHCPv6 on startup: The print server should always attempt
DHCPv6 for configuration each time it is powered on.
If DHCPv6 is used for stateful addressing, the addresses (and associated prefixes)
configured on the print server will be listed.
Manual Address Use this section to manually configure an IPv6 address on the print server, and to enable
or disable the address.
Check the Enable checkbox to enable an IPv6 address that has been manually
configured. Clear this checkbox to disable the address, which is the default setting.
Use the Address and Prefix length fields to enter an IPv6 address and its prefix length.
If IPv6 address prefixes (for example, supplied by a router) have been stored on the
print server, you can select a prefix from the Prefix field, and then click Add to copy the
prefix into the Address field. Then enter the remainder of the address.
Config Precedence
This page is used to specify the methods of print server configuration that take precedence over other
configuration methods. For example, if a network administrator wants to ensure that IPv4 parameters
configured by a TFTP server cannot be overwritten through a manual configuration method (such as
the printer control panel, Telnet, or embedded Web server), the administrator can use this page to
indicate that TFTP takes precedence over manual configuration.
The factory-default precedence order is indicated below.
ENWW Networking Tab 69
Page 80
Table 4-7 TCP/IP Config Precedence tab
Item Description
Configuration Methods Specifies the precedence of the configuration methods used to configure the print
server. The default precedence is indicated below, where manual configuration has the
highest priority.
Manual: Configuration through tools such as the printer control panel, Telnet, embedded
Web server, installation and management software.
TFTP: Configuration through a TFTP file from a TFTP server, typically identified during
a BootP/DHCP configuration.
DHCP/Bootp: Configuration from a BootP or DHCPv4 server.
DHCPv6: Configuration from a DHCPv6 server.
Default: Factory default configuration.
To change the order of the list, select an entry and use the up or down arrows to move
it.
Reset to default scheme This button resets the precedence table to the default sequence described above.
Reinitialize Now This button saves the new precedence table, clears the configuration method to its
factory-default setting, and restarts the IP stack.
Clear Previous Values and
Reinitialize Now
This button saves the new precedence table, clears the configuration method to its
factory-default setting, clears current TCP/IP parameter settings, and restarts the IP
stack.
Apply
Cancel
The Apply button saves changes to the Configuration Methods precedence table.
Depending on the changes made, you may need to turn the print server Off/On to
implement the change.
The Cancel button cancels your changes to the precedence table.
CAUTION The Cancel button will not affect changes made by the Reinitialize
Now or Clear Previous Values and Reinitialize Now buttons.
Example: To set all parameters configured through DHCP to be “Read-only”, and to allow manual
configuration only of parameters that are not configured through DHCP, proceed as follows:
1. Power on the print server so that it obtains its DHCP configuration.
2. Change the precedence table to the following:
BOOTP/DHCPv4
DHCPv6
TFTP

(IPv4 only) Enter Web addresses, host names, or domain names that do not need to
be accessed through the proxy server. Use semicolons (;) to separate entries.
Default IP (IPv4 only) Specifies the IP address to use when the print server is unable to obtain an
IP address from the network during a forced TCP/IP reconfiguration (for example, when
manually configured to use BOOTP/DHCP).
LEGACY DEFAULT_IP: sets the legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192.
ENWW Networking Tab 71
Page 82
Item Description
AUTO_IP: sets a link-local IP address 169.254.x.x.
The initial setting is determined by the IP address obtained when first powered on.
Send DHCP requests (IPv4 only) A checkbox is used to specify whether DHCP requests will be periodically
transmitted when a legacy default IP address 192.0.0.192 or link-local IP address
169.254.x.x has been automatically assigned.
Clear the checkbox to disable DHCP requests.
Check the checkbox (default) to enable DHCP requests.
Use Stateless DHCPv4 When
Manually Configured
(IPv4 only) A checkbox is used to allow additional IPv4 parameters to be automatically
configured from a DHCPv4 server even when the print server is statically configured
(such as a manually configure IP address, subnet mask and default gateway).
Clear the checkbox to disable stateless DHCPv4 configuration.
Check the checkbox (default) to enable stateless DHCPv4 configuration.
TTL/SLP (IPv4 only) Specifies the IP multicast Time To Live (TTL) discovery setting for Service
Location Protocol (SLP) packets. The default value is 4 hops (the number of routers
from the local network). The range is 1–15. If set to −1, multicast capability is disabled.
For print servers configured for Auto IP (link-local) addresses, this field will be ignored.
TTL on outbound packets will always be set to 255 and limited to the link-local network.
Syslog Server (IPv4 only) Specifies the IP address of a host computer that is configured to receive
syslog messages from the HP Jetdirect print server. If a Syslog Server is not specified,
syslog messages are disabled.
Syslog Maximum Messages (IPv4 only) Specifies the maximum number of syslog messages that can be sent by the
HP Jetdirect print server on a per-minute basis. This setting allows administrators to
control the log file size. The default is 10 per minute. If set to zero, no maximum number
is defined.
Syslog Priority (IPv4 only) Controls the filtering of syslog messages that are sent to the syslog server.
The filter range is 0 to 8, with 0 being the most specific and 8 being the most general.
Only messages that are lower than the filter level specified (that is, higher in priority)
are reported. The default value is 8 which reports all syslog messages. A value of zero
effectively disables syslog reporting.

HP XML Services
Enable or disable access by HP Web service applications to XML-based data on the HP
Jetdirect print server.
Link settings (For wired 10/100/1000T Ethernet) Sets the print server's link speed (10, 100, 1000 Mbps)
and communication mode (Full- or Half-Duplex). The available link-speed selections
depend on the print server model. The selections that may be displayed are listed below.
CAUTION If you change the link setting, network communications with the print
server and network device may be lost.
●
AUTO (default): The print server uses auto-negotiation to configure itself with the
highest link speed and communication mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either
100TX HALF or 10TX HALF is set depending on the detected link speed of the hub/
switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)
●
10T-Full: 10 Mbps, Full-duplex operation.
●
10T-Half: 10 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
●
100TX-Full: 100 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
●
100TX-Half: 100 Mbps, half-duplex operation.
●
100TX-AUTO: Limits auto-negotiation to a maximum link speed of 100 Mbps.
●
1000T FULL: 1000 Mbps, full-duplex operation.
Locally Administered Address Specifies a locally administered address (LAA) that replaces the factory-assigned LAN
Hardware (MAC) address. If LAA is used, a user-specified string of exactly 12 hexadecimal
digits must be entered.
For Ethernet print servers, the LAA address must start with hexadecimal X2, X6, XA, or
XE, where X is any hexadecimal digit 0 through F.
The default address is the factory assigned address.
Syslog Facility Specify the encoded source facility of a message (for example, to identify the source of
selected messages during troubleshooting). By default, the HP Jetdirect print server uses
LPR as the source facility code, but local user values of local0 through local7 can be used
to isolate individual or groups of print servers.
HTTP Idle Timeout Specifies the length of time after which an idle HTTP connection will be closed. The HTTP
Idle Timeout applies to the time after an HTTP request or response has completed. The
valid range is 5 to 60 seconds. The default value is 15.
If zero (0) is specified, this parameter is disabled, and the TCP/IP idle timeout value is
used.
Dynamic Raw Port Setting Allows additional ports to be specified for printing to TCP port 9100. Valid ports are 3000
to 9000, which are application-dependent.
Disable listening on these ports
NOTE While supported in this release, this item may be superseded or
overridden by the IPsec/Firewall policy configuration.
For security purposes, two fields allow you to disable services on the printer that use the
network. In each field, you must specify the port numbers that are used for network
communications with those services. Up to five ports may be specified in each field (for
example, [5, 10, 40, 20, 50]). The valid range for port numbers is 1 through 65535.
Streams: In this field, enter port numbers of services that pass data streams. Data streams
use Transport Control Protocol (TCP) to guarantee data delivery.
Table 4-12 Miscellaneous Settings (continued)
ENWW Networking Tab 77
Page 88
Item Description
Datagrams: In this field, enter port numbers of services that pass datagrams. Datagrams,
typically used for broadcast messages, use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a
connectionless protocol where delivery and error recovery are not guaranteed.
Bonjour Highest Priority Service Specifies the Bonjour highest priority service to use for printing. To set this parameter,
choose one of the following printing options:
9100 Printing: Raw IP printing through HP-proprietary port 9100.
IPP Printing: Internet Printing Protocol printing.
LPD Printing (RAW): Default LPD raw queue printing.
LPD Printing (TEXT): Default LPD text queue printing.
LPD Printing (AUTO): Default LPD auto queue printing.
LPD Printing (BINPS): Default LPD binary PostScript queue printing.
LPD Printing (<user-defined>): Up to 5 user-specified LPD queues will be listed if they
have been configured, where <user-defined> is the name of the user-specified LPD print
queue.
The default selection will depend on the printer, typically 9100 Printing or LPD Printing
(BINPS).
Firmware Upgrade
For print servers that support firmware upgrades, this page allows you to upgrade the print server with
new features.
The firmware upgrade file for the print server must be available on your system. To identify and retrieve
the appropriate upgrade file, visit HP online support at:
http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin_firmware
On that page, do the following:
1. Locate the print server model and the upgrade file.
2. Check the upgrade file version and verify that it is more recent than the print server's installed
version. If it is, then download the file. If not, then you do not need to upgrade.
To upgrade the print server using the embedded Web server:
1. Enter the path to the upgrade file or click Browse to locate it.
2. Then click Upgrade Firmware.
LPD Queues
The LPD Queues page allows you to specify LPD (line printer daemon) print queues on the Jetdirect
print server. For more information on LPD printing and print queues, see
LPD Printing.
LPD printing must be enabled on the print server before you can set LPD queues. If LPD is disabled,
go to the
Misc. Settings tab to enable it.
Table 4-12 Miscellaneous Settings (continued)
78 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx) ENWW
Page 89
If LPD printing is enabled, ten different named print queues are available. Four of these queues are
configured automatically and their parameters cannot be changed. The remaining six queues can be
defined by the user.
NOTE Value-based print servers do not support user-defined LPD queues.
The six user-defined queues can be set up with character strings—such as job control commands—that
are automatically added before or after the print job. You can define up to eight named strings, and you
can set up each queue so that any of these named strings precedes the print data (“prepend string
name”) or follows the print data (“append string name”).
LPD Queue Parameters for setting up LPD queues are described below. See
Table 4-13 LPD Queue
Parameters.
Table 4-13 LPD Queue Parameters
Item Description
Queue Name Name of the user-defined queue. This name can be up to 32 characters long, and can consist
of any displayable ASCII characters. You can define up to six user-defined queues.
CAUTION Avoid the differentiation of queue names through the use of lower- and
upper-case characters only. Otherwise, management of LPD queues by other tools
(such as Telnet) may yield unpredictable results.
Prepend String Name Enter the name of one or more strings to be added before (or prepended to) the print data. You
specify string names and values in the table at the bottom of the page.
To prepend a long string, multiple string names may be concatenated, that is, entered and
separated by a “+” character. For example, to prepend a long string that has been divided into
two separate strings, enter:
<stringname1>+<stringname2>
where stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names with different
values.
Append String Name Enter the name of one or more strings to be added after (or appended to) the print data. You
specify string names and values in the table at the bottom of the page.
To append a long string, multiple string names may be concatenated, that is, entered and
separated by a “+” character. For example, to append a long string that has been divided into
two separate strings, enter:
<stringname1>+<stringname2>
where stringname1 and stringname2 are specified as two separate string names with different
values.
Queue Type Processing instruction for the queue. Choose from these four queue types:
●
RAW—No processing. The line printer daemon treats the data in a raw queue as a print
job that has already been formatted in PCL, PostScript, or HP-GL/2, and sends it to the
printer without modification. (Note that any user-defined prepend or append string will be
added to the job in the appropriate position.)
●
TEXT—Carriage return added. The line printer daemon treats data in text queues as
unformatted or ASCII text, and adds a carriage return to each line before sending it to the
printer.
ENWW Networking Tab 79
Page 90
Item Description
●
AUTO—Automatic. The line printer daemon uses autosensing to determine whether the
print data should be sent as raw or text.
●
BINPS—Binary PostScript. This instructs the PostScript interpreter that the printjob is to
be interpreted as Binary PostScript data.
Default Queue Name Name of the queue to be used if the queue specified for a print job is unknown. By default, the
Default Queue Name is AUTO.
String Name Name of a character string. You may define up to eight character strings for use in LPD queues;
this parameter names the string, and the Value parameter defines the content of the string.
Prepend and Append string names (specified in the table at the top of the browser window)
must be chosen from the names specified here. The string name can be up to 32 characters
long, and can consist of any displayable ASCII characters.
Value The content of the string. The String Name parameter names the string; the Value parameter
defines its content. When a string name is specified for a prepend or append string (in the table
at the top of the browser window), the line printer daemon sends the value of that string to the
printer before or after the print data (as appropriate).
Character values can be anywhere in the extended ASCII range of 0 to 255 (hex 00 to FF).
You can specify a non-printing character using its hexadecimal value, by entering a backslash
followed by two hexadecimal characters. For example, to enter the escape character (hex 1B),
type in \1B. If your string includes the backslash character itself, specify it as \5C. The maximum
number of characters you can type into this field is 240. The characters in the field are checked
for hexadecimal values, converted if necessary, and stored internally. The maximum number
of characters stored internally in the string is 80; any characters that exceed this are discarded.
To set up a user-defined print queue, you first define the strings, assign them as prepend or append
strings, and define the queue type. Once you have defined an LPD queue, you specify its use by setting
up an LPD printer that uses that queue. For instance, if you set up string “a” with a value of “abc” and
string “z” with a value of “xyz”, you can define print queue “az_queue” with a prepend string of “a”, an
append string of “z”, and a queue type of “raw”. Then, when you send a print job consisting of
<formatted_text> through queue az_queue, the job sent to the printer is “abc<formatted_text>xyz”.
Instructions for setting up an LPD printer are different for different operating systems; refer to
LPD
Printing for details.
Example. If you had an LPD printer and wanted to reset it at the start of each print job, you could set
up a user-defined print queue named “clear_printer” that issues a PCL reset command (Escape-E) at
the beginning of each job. You could set this up as follows:
First, set up the print queue:
a. Name a string: Type “reset_string” into the String Name field in row 1.
b. Define the string's value: Type “\1BE” (Escape-E) into the Value field in row 1. (Alternatively, you
could type “\1B\45”.)
c. Name the queue: Type “clear_printer” into the Queue Name field in row 5.
d. Set up the prepend string: Type “reset_string” into the Prepend String field in row 5.
e. Leave the Append String field in row 5 blank.
f. Set the queue type: Using the pull-down menu, set the Queue Type field in row 5 to “RAW”.
Then, set up the printer to use the queue, making sure to specify “clear_printer” when asked for a queue
name. (For details of setting up the printer, refer to
LPD Printing.) After that, any print jobs sent to the
Table 4-13 LPD Queue Parameters (continued)
80 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx) ENWW
Page 91
printer—either from the server or from a client computer that has set up that printer—will include a reset
command at the beginning of the job.

is shared with the printer (see
Printer Password Synchronization below).
If a password is set and you attempt to access Jetdirect print server settings, you will be prompted for
a user name and this password before you are allowed access.
NOTE If you have logged into the print server using an administrator password, the
administrator password may be cleared by applying blank entries, or by a cold reset of the print
server to factory-default settings.
Table 4-14 Wizard Security Levels (continued)
ENWW Networking Tab 83
Page 94
A checkbox allows you to synchronize HP Web Jetadmin and the SNMP v1/v2c Set Community Name.
If you enable this feature (the checkbox is checked), the administrator password will also be used as
the SNMP Set Community Name for SNMP v1/v2c management applications.
NOTE If you subsequently change the SNMP Set Community Name (for example, using the
SNMP tab on the Network Settings page or from Web Jetadmin), the two settings will no longer
be synchronized.
Printer Password Synchronization
Most printers provide password-protected access to printer configuration and status settings. The
password is set through security Web pages provided by the printer. For these printers, the administrator
password for the printer and the Jetdirect print server are synchronized so that the same password is
used to access both printer and networking configuration pages. For printers that support password
synchronization, the same password is used regardless of the embedded Web server page (printer
Security page or networking Admin. Account page) in which the password was set.
If password synchronization is lost on these printers, recovery may require one of the following
procedures:
●
Restore both the printer and the Jetdirect print server to factory-default states (for example, through
a cold-reset), and then reconfigure your settings.
●
Manually set the same administrator password using both the printer Security page and the
networking Admin. Account page.
Certificates
(Certificate support depends on the print server model) This tab provides access to installation,
configuration and management services for X.509v3 digital certificates. A digital certificate is an
electronic message typically containing, among other things, a key (a short string used for encryption
and decryption) and a digital signature. Certificates may be issued and signed by a trusted third party
(commonly called a Certificate Authority, or CA), which may exist internal or external to the organization.
Or certificates may be “self-signed”, which is similar to validating your own identity.
NOTE While self-signed certificates are permitted and allow data encryption, they do not ensure
valid authentication.
The Certificates page provides the status of the certificates installed on the HP Jetdirect print server:
●
Jetdirect certificate. The Jetdirect certificate is used to validate the identity of the Jetdirect device
to clients and to network authentication servers.
By factory default, a self-signed Jetdirect certificate is pre-installed. This allows the embedded Web
server to use HTTPS and appear as a secure site when accessed by a Web browser.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or
install a new one. See
Configuring Certificates.
When installed, a Jetdirect certificate will be saved across a cold-reset, which is used to restore
the print server to factory-default values.
●
CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) A certificate from a trusted third party, or
Certificate Authority (CA), is used to validate the identity of a network authentication server during
802.1X authentication methods that use EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). The
84 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx) ENWW
Page 95
authentication server's identity is validated when information on the CA certificate matches the
information on a certificate received from the authentication server.
A CA certificate for the print server is a certificate that was used to sign the authentication server's
certificate. Therefore, the Certificate Authority for the authentication server's certificate must also
be used for the CA certificate.
Click View to view the contents of an installed Jetdirect certificate, or click Configure to update or
install a new one. See
Configuring Certificates.
A CA certificate is not saved when the print server is reset to factory-default values.
Configuring Certificates
When you click Configure, a certificate management wizard will help you update or install a certificate.
The screens displayed will depend on the type of certificate (Jetdirect or CA) and your selections.
Table
4-15 Certificate Configuration Screens provides a description of the screens and configuration
parameters that may appear.
NOTE If you improperly exit Certificates configuration (for example, by failing to use the
Cancel button), an Operation Failed screen may appear. If so, wait approximately two minutes
before entering the wizard again.
Table 4-15 Certificate Configuration Screens
Certificate Options screen. The options provided will depend on your print server model. Choose an option.
●
Update Pre-Installed Certificate. Use this option to update the pre-installed, self-signed certificate. When
updated, the pre-installed certificate is overwritten. You may update the following item:
Certificate Validity Period
With self-signed certificates, the browser will identify the certificate as self-signed for each new Web session
and may cause a security alert message. This message can be bypassed if the user adds it to their browser's
certificate store or disables browser alerts (not recommended).
Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner is merely confirming his own
identity instead of verification by a trusted third party. Certificates from a trusted third party are considered
more secure.
●
Create Certificate Request. Using this option, you are prompted for specific device and organizational
information in the following screen:
Certificate Information
This option may be used, for example, when an authentication protocol requires that a Jetdirect certificate
issued by a trusted third party or Certificate Authority be installed.
●
Install Certificate. This option is displayed only if there is a Jetdirect certificate request (to a trusted third
party) pending. When received, the certificate is installed using this option. Once installed, this certificate
overwrites the preinstalled certificate. Using this option, you are prompted for information in the following
screen:
Install Certificate
The certificate to be installed must be associated with a previous certificate request generated by the
embedded Web server.

Export Certificate and Private Key. This option allows you to export the Jetdirect certificate currently
installed on the print server for use on other print servers. Using this option, you are prompted by the following
screen:
Export the Jetdirect certificate and private key
●
Delete CA Certificate. (Full-featured print servers only) This option is used to remove the CA certificate
installed on the Jetdirect print server. This option appears when a CA certificate for EAP authentication has
been installed.
CAUTION If the CA Certificate is deleted, EAP authentication will be disabled and network access
will be denied.
The CA Certificate will also be removed on a cold-reset of the print server, where factory-default
settings are restored.
Certificate Validity screen. Use this screen to specify how long the Jetdirect self-signed certificate will be valid.
●
This screen appears only when a self-signed certificate is pre-installed and you click Edit Settings to update
the validity period. It specifies the current Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is a time scale maintained
by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It adjusts for differences between Greenwich Mean
Time and atomic time. It is set at 0 degrees longitude on the prime meridian.
The Validity Start Date is calculated from the PC's clock settings.
The Validity Period specifies the number of days (1 to 3650) that the certificate is valid, starting from the
Validity Start Date. A valid entry (1 to 3650) is required. The default is 5 years.
Certificate Information screen. Use this page to enter information for requesting a certificate from a Certificate Authority.
●
Common Name. (Required) For HP Jetdirect print servers, specify the fully qualified domain name or a valid
IP address for the device.
Examples:
Domain Name: myprinter.mydepartment.mycompany.com
IP address: 192.168.2.116
The Common Name will be used to uniquely identify the device. For HP Jetdirect print servers using EAP
authentication, some authentication servers may need to be configured with the Common Name as specified
on the certificate.
If the default IP address 192.0.0.192 is configured on the Jetdirect print server, it will not likely be valid for
your network. You should not use this default address to identify your device.
●

Access Control
NOTE If this feature is supported on the print server and device, it is limited to IPv4 networks.
If the IPsec/Firewall feature is available, it is recommended for use in place of the Access Control
List for improved security and performance.
Use this tab to display the Access Control List (ACL) on the HP Jetdirect print server. An access control
list (or host access list) specifies individual host systems, or networks of host systems, that will be
allowed to access the print server and the attached network device. Up to 10 entries can be included
on the list. If the list is empty (no hosts are listed), any supported system can access the print server.
By default, hosts with HTTP connections (for example, through the embedded Web server or IPP—the
Internet Printing Protocol) are allowed access to the print server regardless of access control list entries.
To disable access by HTTP hosts, clear the Allow Web Server (HTTP) access checkbox at the bottom
of the list.
Table 4-15 Certificate Configuration Screens (continued)
ENWW Networking Tab 87
Page 98
CAUTION Use caution when using the Access Control List. You may lose your ability to
communicate with the HP Jetdirect print server if your system is not properly specified in the list,
or access through HTTP is disabled.
For use of the host access list as a security feature, see
Security Features (V.34.xx).
Host systems are specified by their IPv4 addresses or network number. If the network contains subnets,
an address mask may be used to identify whether the IP address designates an individual host system
or a group of host systems.
Examples. See the table of sample entries below:
IP Address Mask Description
192.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 Allow all hosts with network number 192.
192.1.0.0 255.1.0.0 Allow all hosts on network 192, subnet 1.
192.168.1.2 Allow the host with IP address 192.168.1.2. The mask
255.255.255.255 is assumed and is not required.
To add an entry into the access control list, use the IP Address and Mask fields to specify a host, and
click (check) the Save checkbox for that entry. Then click Apply.
To delete an entry from the list, clear the Save checkbox for that entry. Then click Apply.
To clear the entire access control list, clear all Save checkboxes, and click Apply.
Mgmt. Protocols
This link provides access to management communications and other protocols that affect security.
Web Mgmt.
Use this tab to manage communications with the embedded Web server from Web browsers. This tab
appears only for full-featured print servers.
Secure, encrypted Web-based communication is provided through the Secure HTTP (HTTPS) protocol.
If configured to require HTTPS, the embedded Web server routes HTTPS communications through port
443, the well-known port for HTTPS traffic. Although ports 80, 280, or 631 continue for Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP) use, other non-secure communications (HTTP) are redirected to HTTPS. Redirection of
your browser to use HTTPS may be transparent depending on your browser's capabilities.
By factory default, HP Jetdirect print servers and printers with IPsec support are configured to require
HTTPS only.
Although not recommended, you may choose to accept both HTTPS and HTTP communications that
are not secure by disabling (clearing) the Encrypt All Web Communication checkbox.
To support the use of HTTPS communications, a Jetdirect certificate must be installed. A factory-default,
self-signed certificate is pre-installed for initial use. Click the Configure button to update the pre-installed
certificate, or to install a new one. For more information, see
Configuring Certificates.
The minimum encryption strength that will be allowed must be specified when using a Jetdirect
certificate. You may select Low (default), Medium, or High encryption strength. For example, selecting
88 Chapter 4 HP Jetdirect Embedded Web Server (V.34.xx) ENWW
Page 99
Low will allow medium or high encryption levels to be used whereas selecting High will only allow high
encryption levels.
For each encryption strength, ciphers are specified to identify the weakest cipher allowed.
NOTE Cipher suites support different levels of encryption strength. The cipher suites currently
supported for encryption and decryption are DES (Data Encryption Standard, 56-bit), RC4 (40bit or 128-bit), and 3DES (168-bit).
SNMP
Use this tab to enable or disable SNMP v1, v2c and v3 agents on the print server, depending on the
print server model. For a description of SNMP selections, see
Table 4-11 SNMP Settings.
SNMP v3
Full-featured HP Jetdirect print servers include an SNMP v3 (Simple Network Management Protocol,
version 3) agent, for enhanced SNMP security. The SNMP v3 agent employs a User-based Security
Model for SNMP v3 (RFC 2574), which features user-authentication and data privacy through
encryption.
The SNMP v3 agent is enabled when an initial SNMP v3 account on the print server is created. Once
the account is created, any SNMP management application, if properly configured, can access or disable
the account.
CAUTION If you use HP Web Jetadmin to manage your devices, you should use HP Web
Jetadmin to seamlessly configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server.
Using the embedded Web server to create the SNMP v3 account will erase any existing SNMP
v3 accounts. In addition, the SNMP v3 account information will need to be implemented on the
SNMP management application.
You may create the initial account by specifying the HMAC-MD5 authentication and CBC-DES data
privacy encryption keys used by your SNMP v3 management application.
CAUTION You should disable Telnet and ensure secure embedded Web communications
through HTTPS is enabled before creating the initial SNMP v3 account. This will help to prevent
access or interception of account information over a connection that is not secure.
SNMP v1 and v2c agents can coexist with the SNMP v3 agent. However, to fully secure SNMP
access, you should disable SNMP v1 and v2c.
Other
Use this tab to enable or disable various protocols supported by the print server for printing, print
services, and management. See
Table 4-16 Other Protocols.
ENWW Networking Tab 89
Page 100
Table 4-16 Other Protocols
Item Description
Enable Print Protocols Enable or disable network protocols supported by the print server: IPX/SPX, AppleTalk,
DLC/LLC. For example, you should disable unused protocols to prevent printer access
using those protocols.
For network environments that use these protocols, see
Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print
Server.
Because it uses TCP/IP, the embedded Web server does not allow disabling TCP/IP.
Enable Print Services Enable or disable various print services supported by the print server: port 9100, LPD (Line
Printer Daemon), IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Disable
unused print services to prevent access through those services.
Enable Device Discovery Enable or disable device discovery protocols supported by the print server:
SLP (Service Location Protocol).
If enabled (checked), the HP Jetdirect print server sends SLP packets, which are used by
system applications for automated discovery and installation.
If disabled (cleared), SLP packets are not sent.
If SLP uses multicast protocols, Multicast IPv4 must be enabled.
Bonjour.
If enabled (checked), Bonjour services are provided. Bonjour is typically used on for IP
address and name resolution (through UDP port 5353) where a conventional DNS server
is not used.
For Bonjour operation, Multicast IPv4 must be enabled.
Multicast IPv4.
If enabled (checked), the print server will send and receive IP version 4 multicast packets.
If this parameter is disabled, other protocols that use multicast protocols, such as
Bonjour and SLP, may also be disabled without notification.
Enable Management Protocols Enable or disable Telnet access and the use of FTP to upgrade firmware on the print server.
Telnet and FTP are not secure protocols and device passwords may be intercepted.
Enable or disable RCFG, a remote IPX configuration protocol used by older management
tools to configure Novell NetWare parameters. Disabling RCFG does not affect direct mode
printing using IPX/SPX.
Disabling Telnet, FTP firmware upgrades, and RCFG is recommended.
802.1x Authentication
(Full-featured print servers only) This page allows you to configure 802.1X authentication settings on
the Jetdirect print server as required for client authentication on your network. In addition, you can reset
the 802.1X authentication settings to factory-default values.
CAUTION Use caution when changing the 802.1X authentication settings; you may lose
your connection. If communication with the printer/MFP device is lost, you may need to reset
the print server to a factory-default state and then reinstall the device.
