Administrator's Guide

Table 4-6 TCP/IP(v4) tab (continued)

Item Description

IP Address

Manually assign the IP address on the HP Jetdirect print server.

This IP address uniquely identifies a node on a TCP/IP network. Duplicate IP addresses on a

TCP/IP network are not allowed.

Subnet Mask

Manually assign a subnet mask if subnetting is used. A subnet mask is a 32-bit number. When

applied to an IP address, the subnet mask determines which bits specify the network and

subnet, and which bits uniquely specify the node.

Default Gateway

IP address of a router or computer that is used to connect to other networks or subnetworks.

TCP/IP(v6) tab

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 on page 14. For additional parameters that you can configure, see the Advanced tab.

Table 4-7 TCP/IP(v6) tab

Item Description

IPv6 Enable

Select or clear the check box to enable or disable IPv6 operation.

Link-Local Address

(Read only parameter.) Print server's IPv6 link-local address and prefix length. 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

Select or clear the check box to enable or disable the use of stateless addresses.

NOTE: Changes to the stateless addresses normally takes place when the print server

is turned off then turned on. You can immediately implement any stateless address

changes by clearing and then selecting the IPv6 Enable check box.

(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.
