Description

IP Address Types

There are two main types of IP addresses: static and dynamic. Static IP addresses are fixed and do not change, while dynamic IP addresses are assigned by a DHCP server and can change over time. IPv4 and IPv6 are the two versions of IP addresses, with IPv4 being the older format and IPv6 designed to accommodate more devices.
