HP Officejet Pro 8000 - A811 - Manual (Page 97)

Change IP settings
The default IP setting for the IP settings is Automatic, which sets the IP settings automatically.
However, if you are an advanced user, you might want to manually change settings such as the IP
address, subnet mask, or the default gateway.
CAUTION: Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. If you enter an invalid IP
address during the installation, your network components cannot connect with the printer.
1. Press right arrow , and then select Configure Device.
2. Select I/O Option, and then select IP Settings.
3. Automatic is shown by default. To change the settings manually, press right arrow and
OK.
4. The IP address will be shown and press OK to make the changes.
5. Once the changes have been made to all the 4 bytes of the IP address, Subnet Mask will
appear and repeat the same process. The last setting will be Default Gateway.
Configure the printer’s firewall settings
Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The firewall
provides simple control of IP addresses that are allowed access.
NOTE: In addition to firewall protection at the network layer, the printer also supports an
SNMPv3 agent at the application layer for management application security, and open secure
sockets layer (SSL) standards at the transport layer for secure client-server applications, such
as client-server authentication or HTTPS Web browsing.
For firewall operation on the printer, you must configure a firewall policy to apply to specified IP
traffic. Firewall policy pages are accessed through the EWS and displayed by your Web browser.
After a policy is configured, it is not activated until you click Apply in the EWS.
Creating and using firewall rules
Firewall rules allow you to control IP traffic. Use firewall rules to allow or drop IP traffic based on
IP addresses and services.
Enter up to ten rules, each rule specifying the host addresses, services, and the action to take for
those addresses and services.
This section contains the following topics:
• Create a firewall rule
• Change the priority of firewall rules
• Change firewall options
• Reset firewall settings
• Limitations to rules, templates, and services
