Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP

 

network.

Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages

Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between

 

different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more

 

networks that use the same protocols.

Primary DNS

 

Sets the address of the primary DNS server used for host name lookups.

 

DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on

DNS server maintains a database of host names for its’ domain and their

 

corresponding IP Addresses.

Secondary DNS
