FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -When a device is assigned a static IP address, the address does not change. Most devices use dynamic IP addresses, which are assigned by the network when they connect and change over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -A static IP address is one that was manually created, as opposed to having been assigned. A static address also does not change, whereas a dynamic IP address has been assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and is subject to change.

Detailed explanation-3: -A static IP address can be either IPv6 or IPv4. It is manually assigned to the device and cannot be easily updated. A complete machine reset will be required to modify the static IP address. This can be troublesome if the device requires multiple IP addresses at different locations, for example, a mobile phone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Addresses for Servers and Peripherals Any network resource, such as a server or a printer, should have a static IP address, as shown in the figure. The client hosts access these resources using the IP addresses of these devices. Therefore, predictable addresses for each these servers and peripherals are necessary.
