|
|
● BOOTP=YES* Enable IPv4 configuration by a BOOTP Server. |
|
|
● DHCP=YES* Enable IPv4 configuration by a DHCP Server. |

If you specify BOOTP=NO*, DHCP=NO* and AUTO IP=NO*, you can manually set the following |
|
|
TCP/IPv4 parameters from the control panel: |
|
|
● Each byte of the IPv4 address (IP) |
|
|
● |
Subnet Mask (SM) |
|
● |
Syslog Server (LG) |

● RTR_UN: Attempt to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (when a router is not available).
● ALWAYS: Always attempt to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (whether or not a router is available).
MANUAL= KEEP/DISABLE: Set the behavior of a manually configured IPv6 address detected on the print server.
● KEEP (default): Maintain the address in an active state.
● DISABLE: Maintain the address but in an inactive state.
Print an HP Jetdirect configuration page to verify your settings. (The print server can overwrite selected parameters with values that ensure proper operation.)
