Using BOOTP 
53
Use the following conventions for the bootptab file entries:
●
A colon (:) indicates the end of a field.
●
A backslash (\) indicates that the entry is continued on the 
next line.
●
Spaces are not allowed between the characters on a line.
●
Names, such as host names, must begin with a letter and 
can contain only letters, numbers, periods (for domain 
names only), or hyphens.
●
The underscore character (_) is not allowed.
See your system documentation or online help for more 
information.
ip
The IP address tag (required). This is the HP JetDirect print server’s IP 
address.
gw
The gateway IP address tag. This is the IP address of the default gateway 
(router) that the HP JetDirect print server uses to communicate with other 
subnets.
sm
The subnet mask tag. The HP JetDirect print server uses the subnet mask to 
identify the portions of an IP address that specify the network and 
subnetwork number and the host address.
lg
The syslog server’s IP address tag. This is the address of the server where 
the HP JetDirect print server sends syslog messages.
T144
A vendor-specific tag that specifies the relative path name of the TFTP 
configuration file. You can truncate long path names. The path name must be 
enclosed with quotes (for example, “pathname”). See Using DHCP
 for more 
information about file formats.
Note
Standard BOOTP option 18 (extensions file path) also allows a standard tag 
(
ef
) to specify the relative path name of the TFTP configuration file.
T150
The TFTP server’s IP address tag. 
T151
A BOOTP-only tag. You must specify 
BOOTP-ONLY
 to ensure that other 
dynamic configuration methods, such as DHCP, are not used.
