Selecting the Type and Method of IP Address Configuration

What is an IP address? 

The IP address is an identification number allocated to computers and other devices con-

nected to an IP network. An IP address is an address for use on a network. There are two

types of IP address: IPv4 and IPv6.

The IPv4 address consists of four fields, such as "192.168.0.113".

The first three fields (192.168.0) are fixed, and the last one (113) is variable.

What is a DHCP? 

DHCP is a networking protocol that automatically assigns an IP address and other informa-

tion to the connected device. You can automatically obtain the IP address by enabling the

machine's DHCP setting.
