OVERVIEW

 

 

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) comprises the backbone of the Internet. IP moves packets of data between nodes while TCP verifies delivery from client to server. The device you hook up to your wireless access point will identify itself with an IP address so that the network will know where to retrieve and deposit requested information.

Static IP Address

A static IP address is a fixed address that is assigned manually to a device on the network. Static IP addresses must be unique and cannot be shared, therefore they are used in situations where the address should never change, like print servers or PC servers.

Dynamic IP Address

A dynamic IP address is a temporary IP number, dynamically or randomly generated by a DHCP server. The address lasts only as long as the server allots, usually in the space of a day or two. When the IP address expires, the client is automatically reassigned a new IP address, ensuring smooth communication.
