HP LaserJet Enterprise, HP LaserJet Managed, HP PageWide Enterprise, HP PageWide Managed - Configuration Guide using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Please note: Many infrastructure components, such as LAN switches, use 802.1X protocols to control a port's
access to the network. Before network installation on these ports, you must initially congure the Jetdirect print
server with 802.1X settings using an isolated LAN, or directly using a cross-over cable.
IPsec / Firewall
A Firewall or IP Security (IPsec) policy allows you to control trac to or from the device using network-layer
protocols. Either Firewall or IPsec / Firewall pages will appear depending on whether IPsec is supported by the
print server and device. If IPsec is not supported, Firewall pages will be displayed and a Firewall policy can be
congured.
Please note: Before you enable a Firewall or IPsec policy, you should secure access to your conguration
management settings (for example, through an administrator password). This will ensure your policy is not
easily disabled through Telnet, control panel menus, or other management tools.
● Firewall. Use this page to view or congure a Firewall policy. A Firewall policy consists of up to 10 rules,
where each rule species the IP addresses and services allowed by the print server and device. To add a
rule, click Add Rule. This runs a wizard that will help you congure each rule.
● IPsec / Firewall. (Selected HP Jetdirect models only) Use this page to view or congure an IPsec / Firewall
policy. An IPsec / Firewall policy consists of up to 10 rules. As with a Firewall policy, each rule species the
IP addresses and services allowed by the print server and device. With IPsec support, you can apply IPsec
authentication and encryption protocols for those addresses and services. To add a rule, click Add Rule.
This runs a wizard that will help you congure each rule.
For a detailed description of wizard settings and additional help, click Jetdirect IPsec/Firewall Help.
Announcement Agent
Use this page to enable or disable the HP Device Announcement Agent, to set the conguration server, and to
indicate whether to require mutual authentication using certicates. When enabled (the default), the HP Device
Announcement Agent sends an announcement to a conguration server when the device rst connects to your
network. The conguration server, such as the HP Imaging and Printing Security Center, then sends the pre-
established conguration settings to the device.
