nodename -- The name of the peripheral. This name identifies an entry
point to a list of parameters for a specific peripheral.
nodename must be the first field in an entry. (In the
example above, nodename is “picasso”.)
ht -- The hardware type tag. For the HP Jetdirect print server,
set this to ether (for Ethernet) or token (for Token Ring).
This tag must precede the ha tag.
vm -- The BOOTP report format tag (required). Set this
parameter to rfc1048.
ha -- The hardware address tag. The hardware (MAC) address
is the link-level, or station address of the HP Jetdirect print
server. It can be found on the HP Jetdirect configuration
page as the HARDWARE ADDRESS. On HP Jetdirect
external print servers, it is printed on a label attached to
the print server.
ip -- The IP address tag (required). This address will be the
HP Jetdirect print server’s IP address.
sm 1 The subnet mask tag. The subnet mask will be used by
the HP Jetdirect print server to identify the portions of an
IP address that specify the network/subnetwork number
and the host address.
gw 3 The gateway IP address tag. This address identifies the
IP address of the default gateway (router) that the
HP Jetdirect print server will use for communications
with other subnets.
ds 6 DNS (Domain Name System) server’s IP address tag.
Only a single name server can be specified.
