What IsAStatic IPAddress?
Introduction to IP addresses
IP stands for Internet Protocol, a number that's given to each device - a
computer, tablet, phone, etc, that's a part of a given network.
The IP address for your device tells other devices where to send
information, much like a postal address.
A URL is actually a written code for an IP address.
In other words, when you type in a URL, your computer uses the IP
address, not the words you typed in, to get you to the web page.
IP addresses also link you to your location and it identifies you as a user.
For this reason, it can even be used to ID you if you are suspected of cyber
attack.
Static IPAddress
A static IP address is just what it sounds like: it's an IP address that doesn't
change.
Static IP addresses are manually assigned to a device, as opposed to
dynamic IP addresses, which are distributed by Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocols (DHCPs) automatically.
A static IP address requires you to configure your router
WhyUse aStatic IPAddress?
Useful if you don't want the IP address for a device to change.
Example:
1) a network of printers in your house that you access through a router, you
will want all of those printers to have static IP addresses. If the IP address
changed for a printer, then you would have to reconfigure your router to
print to that device every time the IP address changed.
2. Remote computer - If the address were to keep changing, then you
wouldn't be able to access it without knowing the new address
3. For gamer – avoid your gaming to be interrupted while the DHCP gives
you a new dynamic IP address.
Brief MentiononDynamic IPAddresses
Borrowed IP addresses - they're assigned to a device for a certain amount
of time and then recycled.
For a standard internet user, just plug in the router and have it
automatically give out dynamic IP addresses.
You only need to worry about using static IP addresses if you are in a
special situation that requires one, like the situations listed above.
You can also geolocate an IP address for its origin country by using third
party geolocation tools like IP2Location.com.
