7 In the Lease Duration section, select Unlimited, and select
OK. To avoid the problems that result when IP addresses
change, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you assign
infinite leases to all of your printers. Be aware, however, that
selecting an unlimited lease duration for the scope causes all
of the clients in that scope to have infinite leases.
Note
If you want clients on your network to have finite leases, you
can set the duration to a finite time, but you should configure
all of your printers as reserved clients for the scope.
8 If you have assigned unlimited leases, skip to step 9.
Otherwise, select Scope, and select Add Reservations to
set up your printers as reserved clients. For each printer,
perform the following steps in the Add Reserved Clients
window:
a Type the selected IP address.
b Obtain the hardware (MAC) address from the
configuration page, and type the address in the Unique
Identifier box.
c Type the client name (any name is acceptable).
d To add the reserved client, select Add. To delete a
reservation, in the DHCP Manager window, select
Scope, and select Active Leases. In the Active Leases
window, select the reservation that you want to delete,
and select Delete.
9 To return to the DHCP Manager window, select Close.
10 If you are not planning to use Windows Internet Naming
Service (WINS), skip to step 11. Otherwise perform the
following steps to configuring your DHCP server:
a From the DHCP Manager window, select DHCP
Options, and select one of the following:
Scope — If you only want Name Services for the
selected scope.
Global — If you want Name Services for all scopes.
b Add the server to the Active Options list. From the
DHCP Options window, select WINS/NBNS Servers
(044) from the Unused Options list. Select Add, and
select OK.
c A warning might appear requesting that you set the node
type. You do this in step 10d.
