I. DISCUSSION:

An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. IP stands for
"Internet Protocol", which is the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the internet or local network.
In essence, IP addresses are the identifier that allows information to be sent between devices on a network:
they contain location information and make devices accessible for communication. The internet needs a way to
differentiate between different computers, routers, and websites. IP addresses provide a way of doing so and form an
essential part of how the internet works.

What is an IP?
An IP address is a string of numbers separated by periods. IP addresses are expressed as a set of four
numbers — an example address might be 192.158.1.38. Each number in the set can range from 0 to 255. So, the full
IP addressing range goes from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. IP addresses are not random. They are mathematically
produced and allocated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), a division of the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). ICANN is a non-profit organization that was established in the United States
in 1998 to help maintain the security of the internet and allow it to be usable by all. Each time anyone registers a domain
on the internet, they go through a domain name registrar, who pays a small fee to ICANN to register the domain.

How do IP addresses work?


If you want to understand why a particular device is not connecting in the way you would expect or you want
to troubleshoot why your network may not be working, it helps understand how IP addresses work. Internet Protocol
works the same way as any other language, by communicating using set guidelines to pass information. All devices
find, send, and exchange information with other connected devices using this protocol. By speaking the same language,
any computer in any location can talk to one another.
The use of IP addresses typically happens behind the scenes. The process works like this:
Your device indirectly connects to the internet by connecting at first to a network connected to the internet, which then
grants your device access to the internet.
When you are home, that network will probably be your Internet Service Provider (ISP). At work, it will be your company
network. Your IP address is assigned to your device by your ISP.
Your internet activity goes through the ISP, and they route it back to you, using your IP address. Since they
are giving you access to the internet, it is their role to assign an IP address to your device.
However, your IP address can change. For example, turning your modem or router on or off can change it. Or you can
contact your ISP, and they can change it for you. When you are out and about – for example, traveling – and you take
your device with you, your home IP address does not come with you. This is because you will be using another network
(Wi-Fi at a hotel, airport, or coffee shop, etc.) to access the internet and will be using a different (and temporary) IP
address, assigned to you by the ISP of the hotel, airport or coffee shop. As the process implies, there are different
types of IP addresses, which we explore below.

Types of IP addresses

There are different categories of IP addresses, and within each category, different types.

1. Consumer IP addresses - every individual or business with an internet service plan have two types of IP addresses:
their private IP addresses and their public IP address. The terms public and private relate to the network location —
that is, a private IP address is used inside a network, while a public one is used outside a network.

2. Private IP addresses - every device that connects to your internet network has a private IP address. This includes
computers, smartphones, and tablets but also any Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers, printers, or smart TVs.
With the growing internet of things, the number of private IP addresses you have at home is probably growing. Your
router needs a way to identify these items separately, and many items need a way to recognize each other. Therefore,
your router generates private IP addresses that are unique identifiers for each device that differentiate them on the
network.

3. Public IP addresses - is the primary address associated with your whole network. While each connected device
has its own IP address, they are also included within the main IP address for your network. As described above, your
public IP address is provided to your router by your ISP. Typically, ISPs have a large pool of IP addresses that they
distribute to their customers. Your public IP address is the address that all the devices outside your internet network
will use to recognize your network.

Public IP addresses come in two forms – dynamic and static.


a. Dynamic IP addresses - change automatically and regularly. ISPs buy a large pool of IP addresses and assign
them automatically to their customers. Periodically, they re-assign them and put the older IP addresses back into the
pool to be used for other customers. The rationale for this approach is to generate cost savings for the ISP. Automating
the regular movement of IP addresses means they don’t have to carry out specific actions to re-establish a customer's
IP address if they move home, for example. There are security benefits, too, because a changing IP address makes it
harder for criminals to hack into your network interface.
b. Static IP addresses - in contrast to dynamic IP addresses, static addresses remain consistent. Once the network
assigns an IP address, it remains the same. Most individuals and businesses do not need a static IP address, but for
businesses that plan to host their own server, it is crucial to have one. This is because a static IP address ensures that
websites and email addresses tied to it will have a consistent IP address.

What are the versions of Internet Protocol Addresses?

1. IPv4 - stands for Internet Protocol version 4. It is the underlying technology that makes it possible for us to connect
our devices to the web. Whenever a device accesses the Internet, it is assigned a unique, numerical IP address such
as 99.48.227.227. To send data from one computer to another through the web, a data packet must be transferred
across the network containing the IP addresses of both devices.

2. Pv6 - is the next generation Internet Protocol (IP) address standard intended to supplement and eventually replace
IPv4, the protocol many Internet services still use today. Every computer, mobile phone, home automation component,
IoT sensor and any other device connected to the Internet needs a numerical IP address to communicate between
other devices. The original IP address scheme, called IPv4, is running out of addresses due to its widespread usage
from the proliferation of so many connected devices.

Difference Between IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses


IPv4 & IPv6 are both IP addresses that are binary numbers. IPv4 is 32-bit binary number while IPv6 is 128 bit binary
number address. IPv4 address are separated by periods while IPv6 address are separated by colons.
How to look up IP address of a Desktop Computer or Laptop?

In you Desktop or Laptop Computer,

Step 1: Search for cmd or command prompt and run as administrator

Step 2: On the command prompt, type ipconfig and wait for the Windows IP Configuration to appear.
Kindly see the picture below, these are the content of Windows IP Configuration indicating the
IP Address.

The Windows IP Configuration shows the following;


IPv6 Address: are represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, with the groups being separated
by colons
IPv4 Address: This is the dynamically assigned IP address from ISP modem or Router
Subnet Mask: is used to divide an IP address into two parts. One part identifies the host (computer), the
other part identifies the network to which it belongs.
Default Gateway: This is the default gateway of your ISP modem or Router

How to assign STATIC IP ADDRESS in a Desktop Computer or Laptop?


Step 1: Press the following shortcut keys on your keyboard, Windows ( )+ R and type ncpa.cpl
to appear network and internet settings.
Step 2: Right click the ethernet network and click properties.

Step 3: Select Internet Protocol Version 4 and click properties. Choose “use the following IP
address. Then, you may input your preferred static IP address. (example: 10.0.0.1 – IP address,
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0, Default gateway: 10.0.0.254)
