Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server

Introduction

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 internal print servers are installed in HP printers that have a compatible input/output (I/O) slot. HP Jetdirect external print servers connect printers to the network by adapting the printer’s USB port to the network.

Note Unless otherwise specified, the term print server in

this manual refers to the HP Jetdirect print servers and not a separate computer running print server software.

When connected through a wireless connection to your network, an HP Jetdirect wireless print server provides the same printing services as Jetdirect print servers connected by network cables. For more information on HP wireless print servers, see

Appendix B

If not supplied with this product, HP network setup and management software for supported systems may be obtained from HP support at:

http://www.hp.com/support/net_printing

For software to set up network printing on other systems, contact your system vendor.

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 SNMP and standard MIB-II (Management Information Base) objects on both IP and IPX networks.

HP Jetdirect 175x and 200m print servers support an SNMP v1/v2c agent only.

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.

Value-based print servers (for example, HP Jetdirect 175x and 200m) do not support HTTPS.

ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 11

Authentication (Wireless Print Servers)

Server-Based Authentication

HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support popular authentication server-based methods for network access based on IEEE 802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), including:

● LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol). LEAP

is a proprietary protocol from Cisco Systems, Inc. It uses passwords for mutual authentication between a client and a network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.

● 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-MD5 (EAP using Message Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321).

EAP-MD5 is a one-way authentication protocol that authenticates the client using a password protected by the MD5 encryption algorithm.

● EAP-TLS (EAP using Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716).

EAP-TLS is a mutual authentication protocol based on X.509-compliant digital certificates for authentication of both the client and the network authentication server. Dynamic encryption keys are used for secure communications.

● EAP-TTLS (EAP using Tunneled Transport Layer Security).

EAP-TTLS is an EAP-TLS extension that supports:

■ mutual authentication through client and server

X.509-compliant digital certificates, or

■ one-way authentication through certificate-based server

authentication followed by tunneled password-based client authentication. For additional security, the authentication exchanges are encapsulated within TLS (Transport Layer Security).

TTLS uses dynamic encryption keys for secure communications.

ENWW Introducing the HP Jetdirect Print Server 12

Without an Authentication Server

For small office networks that do not have an authentication server, HP Jetdirect wireless print servers support network authentication using Extensible Authentication Protocol with a Pre-shared key (EAP/PSK). Using a pass-phrase entered by the user, the print server generates a pre-shared key used for network access and communications.

When configured for EAP/PSK authentication, the print server uses Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) dynamic encryption protocols for wireless communications.

Encryption

HP Jetdirect 802.11b wireless print servers support static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. For static WEP encryption, a network WEP key of fixed length (40/64-bit or 104/128-bit) is shared by each device on the network.

Depending on your wireless print server model, the following dynamic encryption protocols are supported:

● dynamic WEP

● Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)

Note If not supported by your HP Jetdirect wireless print

server, EAP/PSK authentication and Robust

encryption will not be displayed as a selectable

configuration option.

When dynamic encryption is used, encryption keys are periodically changed automatically and provide enhanced security because they will likely change before someone can decipher them.

In dynamic WEP encryption, each device on the wireless network is assigned a different encryption key that expires at preset intervals and is then replaced.

WPA encryption is an enhanced version of dynamic WEP and offers improved security. For example, new encryption keys are generated for fixed amounts of data (10 kilobytes) transmitted by a device on the network.

TCP/IP Configuration

Introduction

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. For general information on TCP/IP networks, see Appendix A

Server-Based and Manual TCP/IP Configuration

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.

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.

ENWW 38

Default IP Address

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.

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 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), and should be valid. However, it can be further modified for your network using supported TCP/IP configuration tools if necessary.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 39

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 Chapter 9

Default IP Address Configuration Options

Default IP Parameter

A Default IP configuration parameter on the print server controls the default IP method.

When the print server is in a factory-default state, this parameter is undefined. If the print server is initially configured with a default IP address (either a link-local or 192.0.0.192 IP address), the Default IP parameter will be assigned either Auto IP or Legacy Default IP to match. This parameter setting will determine 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 or DHCP).

The Default IP parameter can be changed through a supported configuration tool, such as Telnet, a Web browser, and SNMP management applications.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 40

DHCP Requests Enable/Disable

When a default IP address is assigned, you can choose 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.

HP Jetdirect Wireless Print Server. When initially powered on, a factory-default wireless print server that has no connection to a network will likely self-assign a link-local IP address. If a network connection to a DHCP server-based network is made, the IP address will likely be reconfigured because DHCP requests on the print server are enabled by default.

Default IP on Wireless and Wired Print Servers

Wired and wireless print servers may have different default IP configuration results:

● When powered on, a factory-default wired print server will

systematically use BOOTP, DHCP, and RARP to retrieve its IP settings. Up to two minutes are used. If configuration is not successful, a default IP address will be assigned as described previously.

● For a factory-default wireless print server, a network connection

must first be configured before it can communicate on a network. Therefore, retrieval of IP settings from a network is limited to about four seconds. During this time, a single BOOTP request is transmitted, and broadcast packets are sensed. Because a response from a BOOTP server on an Ad Hoc network is unlikely, and the number of broadcast packets sensed will be minimal, a default IP configuration using link-local addressing is likely.

However, the IP configuration may change once the wireless print server is connected a DHCP network because the sending of DHCP requests will be enabled by default.

Configuration tools that require a specific default IP address to initially communicate with a factory-default print server may not work without modification. For the default IP address settings on the print server, see the Jetdirect configuration page.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 41

TCP/IP Configuration Tools

Depending on your printer and operating system, 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 your printer installation

software or the HP Jetdirect print server installation software on supported systems. For more information see Chapter 2

Software Solutions Summary”.

To configure a wireless print server with a valid IP address before a wireless connection is established, use the HP Jetdirect Wireless Setup Wizard (Windows) or the embedded Web server. Printer installation software may be used for IP configuration of network-connected printers only.

● 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

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). This protocol is supported in HP-UX, Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux, Windows NT/2000/XP, 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

”.

, “HP

”.

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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 42

● 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

server on the HP Jetdirect print server and setting the configuration parameters. For more information, see Chapter 4

● Printer Control Panel. (Internal Jetdirect print servers only)

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 (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address, and idle timeout). 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

”.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 43

Using BOOTP/TFTP

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established.

BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provide a convenient way to automatically configure the HP Jetdirect print server for TCP/IP 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 NT/2000 and NetWare servers can respond to BOOTP requests. Windows NT/2000 servers are configured through Microsoft DHCP services (see Using DHCP NT/2000 systems may require third-party software for TFTP support. For setup of NetWare BOOTP servers, refer to your NetWare documentation.

). However, Windows

Note If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP

server are located on different subnets, IP configuration may fail unless the routing device supports “BOOTP Relay” (allows the transfer of BOOTP requests between subnets).

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 44

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.

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 sys t e m uses NIS, y o u may nee d t o rebuild t h e N I S map wit h the BOOTP service before performing the BOOTP configuration steps. Refer to your system documentation.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 45

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

”.

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

“. 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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 46

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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 56

Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (4 of 10)

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.

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:

binps.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 57

Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (5 of 10)

ipv4-multicast:

Enables or disables the receipt and transmission of IP version 4 multicast packets by the print server. 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.

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:

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:

Enables or disables the print server’s embedded Web server to change configuration values: 0 disables, 1 (default) enables.

tcp-mss:

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:

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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 58

Table 3.3 TFTP Configuration File Parameters (6 of 10)

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 link-local IP address 169.254.x.x has been automatically assigned.

0: Disables DHCP requests. 1 (default): Enables DHCP requests.

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:

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:

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:

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.”

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 63

Using DHCP

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP, RFC 2131/2132) is one of several auto configuration mechanisms that the HP Jetdirect print server uses. If you have a DHCP server on your network, the HP Jetdirect print server automatically obtains its IP address from that server and registers its name with any RFC 1001 and 1002-compliant dynamic name services as long as a WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server IP address has been specified.

A TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) configuration file may also be used with DHCP to configure extended parameters. For more information on TFTP parameters, see “Using BOOTP/TFTP

Note DHCP services must be available on the server.

Refer to your system documentation or online help to install or enable DHCP services.

”.

Note If the Jetdirect print server and BOOTP/DHCP

server are located on different subnets, IP configuration may fail unless the routing device allows the transfer of DHCP requests between subnets.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 64

UNIX Systems

For more information on setting up DHCP on UNIX systems, see the bootpd man page.

On HP-UX systems, a sample DHCP configuration file (dhcptab) may be located in the /etc directory.

Since HP-UX presently does not provide Dynamic Domain Name Services (DDNS) for its DHCP implementations, HP recommends that you set all print server lease durations to “infinite”. This ensures that print server IP addresses remain static until dynamic domain name services are provided.

Windows Systems

HP Jetdirect print servers support IP configuration from a Windows NT or 2000 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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 65

Windows NT 4.0 Server

To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows NT 4.0 server, perform the following steps:

1. At the Windows NT server, open the Program Manager window and double-click the Network Administrator icon.

2. Double-click the DHCP Manager icon to open this window.

3. Select Server and select Server Add.

4. Type the server IP address, then click OK to return to the DHCP Manager window.

5. In the list of DHCP servers, click on the server you have just added, then select Scope and select Create.

6. Select Set up the IP Address Pool. In the IP Address Pool section, set up the IP address range by typing the beginning IP address in the Start Address box and the ending IP address in the End Address box. Also type the subnet mask for the subnet to which the IP address pool applies.

The starting and ending IP addresses define the end points of the address pool assigned to this scope.

Note If desired, you can exclude ranges of IP addresses

within a scope.

7. In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, then select OK.

HP recommends that all printers be assigned infinite leases to avoid problems resulting from IP addresses that change. Be aware, however, that selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope causes all clients in that scope to have infinite leases.

If you want clients on your network to have finite leases, you can set the duration to a finite time, but you should configure all printers as reserved clients for the scope.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 66

8. Skip this step if you have assigned unlimited leases in the previous step. Otherwise, select Scope and select Add Reservations to set up your printers as reserved clients. For each printer, perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients window to set up a reservation for that printer:

a. Type the selected IP address.

b. Obtain the MAC address or hardware address from the

configuration page, and type this address in the Unique Identifier box.

c. Type the client name (any name is acceptable).

d. Select Add to add the reserved client. To delete a

reservation, in the DHCP Manager window, select Scope and select Active Leases. In the Active Leases window, click on the reservation you want to delete and select Delete.

9. Select Close to return to the DHCP Manager window.

10. Skip this step if you are not planning to use WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service). Otherwise perform the following steps when configuring your DHCP server:

a. From the DHCP Manager window, select DHCP Options

and select one of the following:

Scope — if you want Name Services only for the selected scope.

Global — if you want Name Services for all scopes.

b. Add the server to the Active Options list. From the DHCP

Options window, select WINS/NBNS Servers (044) from the Unused Options list. Select Add, then select OK.

A warning may appear requesting that you set the node type. You do this in step 10d.

c. You must now provide the IP address of the WINS server

by doing the following:

● Select Value, then Edit Array.

● From the IP Address Array Editor, select Remove to

delete any undesired addresses previously set. Then type in the IP address of the WINS server and select Add.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 67

● Once the address appears in the list of IP addresses,

select OK. This returns you to the DHCP Options window. If the address you have just added appears in the list of IP addresses (near the bottom of the window) return to step 10d. Otherwise, repeat step 10c.

d. In the DHCP Options window, select WINS/NBT Node

Type (046) from the Unused Options list. Select Add to add the node type to the Active Options list. In the Byte box, type 0x4 to indicate a mixed node, and select OK.

11. Click Close to exit to Program Manager.

Windows 2000 Server

To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows 2000 server, perform the following steps:

1. Run the Windows 2000 DHCP manager utility. Click Start, then select Settings and Control Panel. Open the Administrative Tools folder and run the DHCP utility.

12. Close the DHCP manager utility.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 69

NetWare Systems

NetWare 5.x servers provide DHCP configuration services for network clients, including the HP Jetdirect print server. To set up DHCP services on a NetWare server, refer to Novell documentation and support.

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.

If you do not want your HP Jetdirect print server configured through DHCP, you must reconfigure the print server with a different configuration method.

1. (For internal print servers) 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 user-specified IP parameters are used.

Therefore, if you manually provide the IP address, you should also manually set all of the configuration parameters, such as subnet mask, default gateway, and idle timeout.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 70

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” in this chapter.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 71

Using RARP

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established.

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.

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

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 72

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 Chapter 8

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 73

Using the arp and ping Commands

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established.

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 NT/2000/XP or UNIX system configured for TCP/IP

operation

● HP Jetdirect firmware version x.20.00 or later

● 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, or on a label attached to HP Jetdirect external print servers)

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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 74

Depending on the system, the LAN hardware address may require a specific format.

For example:

● For Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP

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 Chapter 8

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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 75

Using Telnet

Note For HP Jetdirect wireless print servers, this section

assumes that a wireless connection to your network has been established.

This section describes how to configure the print server (firmware version x.25.01 or greater) using Telnet.

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 must have a similar IP address, that is, the network portion of their IP addresses match, chances are that a route will exist. For information on IP address structure, see Appendix A

If their IP addresses do not match, then you can either change your workstation’s IP 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 aroute 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 NT systems, the command prompt utility is in the Programs folder (click Start, Programs, Command Prompt). On Windows 2000/XP systems, it is in the Accessories folder in the Programs folder.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 76

To use the route command, you will also need the IP address of your workstation. To view it, you can enter the appropriate command at the command prompt:

C:\> ipconfig (on Windows NT/2000/XP)

C:\> winipconfig (on Windows 98)

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 IP 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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 77

A Typical Telnet Session

Initiating a typical Telnet session is illustrated below.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 78

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 Chapter 9

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 “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) a Menu Interface

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 79

and

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 befored entering ?..

To display current configuration information, enter /.

1. At the Telnet prompt “>” type:

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 3.4

for configuration parameters (firmware version

x.25.00 or later).

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.

If you enter save instead of exit or quit, you will not be prompted to save settings.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 80

Telnet Commands and Parameters. Table 3.4 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.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 82

Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (3 of 18)

wep-key Specify a static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption

key. The print server can store up to four WEP keys using four key positions (Key 1, 2, 3, 4). To enter a WEP key, specify the key position followed by the encryption key value. For example,

wep-key 1 0123456789net

assigns Key 1 with a 128-bit WEP key specified by the value 0123456789net.

You can use the wep-key-method command to specify the format of the key value (hexadecimal digits, or alphanumeric ASCII characters). Alternatively, you can insert an optional parameter (ASCII or HEX) after the key position. For example,

wep-key 1 ASCII 0123456789net

assigns Key 1 with a 128-bit WEP key specified by the alphanumeric ASCII characters 0123456789net.

When assigning static WEP keys, ensure that key positions and key values match other wireless devices on the network. Ensure that all key values entered are of the same length, and that WEP key lengths use the proper number of characters or digits.

wireless network does not require authentication for network access. However, your network may still use encryption keys for data security.

Shared_Key: Use Shared Key authentication if your network requires that each device be configured with the same secret WEP key for network access.

The use of the Shared_Key option is not valid with the wpa-auth-type command settings (802.1x or PSK).

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 83

Table 3.4 Telnet Commands and Parameters (4 of 18)

server-auth This command requires that you specify a dynamic

encryption option (dynamic-encrypt command) and EAP

802.1x authentication (wpa-auth-type command). Use this command to specify server-based authentication methods used on your network. For a brief description of supported authentication protocols, see Chapter 1

None: (default) Server-based network authentication is not used.

EAP_MD5: An authentication method that uses 802.1x EAP and MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5, RFC 1321). It requires that a user name and password be configured on the device. Use the svr-auth-user and svr-auth-pass commands to specify a user name and password, respectively.

EAP_TLS: An authentication method that uses 802.1x EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security, RFC 2716). It requires a user name and an installed X.509-compliant digital certificate for device validation. In addition, a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate used to validate the authentication server must be installed. Use the svr-auth-user command to specify a user name. To install certificates, use the embedded Web server. See

Chapter 4

LEAP: An authentication method that uses LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol). LEAP is a Cisco Systems, Inc. proprietary protocol. LEAP requires a user name and password. Use the svr-auth-user and svr-auth-pass commands to specify a user name and password, respectively.

PEAP: An authentication method that uses PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol). PEAP requires a user name and password for client validation. In addition, a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate used to validate the authentication server must be installed. Use the svr-auth-user and svr-auth-pass commands to specify a user name and password, respectively. To install certificates, use the embedded Web server. See Chapter 4

EAP_TTLS: An authentication method that uses TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security). EAP-TTLS is an EAP-TLS extension that also uses X.509-compliant digital certificates. TTLS requires a user name and password for client validation. In addition, a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate used to validate the authentication server must be installed. Use the svr-auth-user and svr-auth-pass commands to specify a user name and password, respectively. To install certificates, use the embedded Web server. See Chapter 4

svr-auth-user Specify a user name for server-based authentication. Up to

128 alphanumeric characters may be used.

ENWW TCP/IP Configuration 84

svr-auth-id Specify the CA certificate character string that will be used

to identify and validate the authentication server. This string will be compared to an identification string received from the authentication server. For string comparison, you can specify whether an exact match is required:

RIGHT_MOST (default): The string entry will be compared to the right-most characters in the CA certificate string.

USE_EXACT: The string entry must exactly match the authentication server’s string.

wpa-auth-type This command is not compatible with the Shared Key

psk-passphrase Specify a pass-phrase that is used to generate a network

dynamic-encrypt Select a supported dynamic encryption option:

authentication option in the auth-type command. Use this command to specify a supported EAP authentication type:

802.1x: Select this option on an EAP network that uses an authentication server. Use the server-auth command to specify the EAP/802.1x protocols used on your network. Use the dynamic-encrypt command to specify a dynamic encryption option.

PSK: Select this option on EAP networks where an authentication server is not used. Instead, a Pre-shared key provides device authentication. A Pre-shared key is generated when you specify a network pass-phrase using the psk-passphrase command. The dynamic-encrypt command should be set to the Robust option.

Pre-shared key. A pass-phrase must be from 8 to 63 ASCII characters in the hexadecimal range 21 through 7E (characters 0-9, a-z, A-Z and numerous special characters including !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, (, ), _, +, =, -, {, }, [, ], \, /, “, <, >, ?, “, ‘, ~).

Basic: Dynamic WEP encryption is supported. Robust: Dynamic Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WEP

encryption protocols are supported. Use the wpa-auth-type command to select a compatible

EAP authentication type:

● For EAP/PSK authentication, the print server should use

Robust encryption (WPA encryption protocols).

● For EAP/802.1x authentication (LEAP only), the print

server should use Basic encryption.

● For EAP/802.1x aut hentication (PEAP, TLS, T TLS only),

the print server may use either Basic encryption or Robust encryption depending on your network.

Dynamic encryption protocols are under the control of the authentication server and also must be supported by the Access Point.
