● Idle Timeout period (default is 270 seconds, 0 disables the timeout) CFG DNS 1: IPv4 address of a primary DNS server (one byte at a time). CFG DNS 2: IPv4 address of a secondary DNS server (one byte at a time). IPV6 = YES*: Enable IPv6 operation. Select NO to disable IPv6 operation. POLICY=RTR_AV/RTR_UN/ALWAYS: Set one of the following IPv6 addressing policies:

RTR_AV: (default) Stateful auto-configuration method is determined by a router. The router specifies whether the print server obtains its address, configuration information, or both from a DHCPv6 server.

RTR_UN: Attempt to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (when a router is not available).

ALWAYS: Always attempt to obtain stateful configuration from a DHCPv6 server (whether or not a router is available).

MANUAL= KEEP/DISABLE: Set the behavior of a manually configured IPv6 address detected on the print server.

KEEP (default): Maintain the address in an active state.

DISABLE: Maintain the address but in an inactive state.

Print an HP Jetdirect configuration page to verify your settings. (The print server can overwrite selected parameters with values that ensure proper operation.)
