Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the (Computer System Servicing(CSS) Grade-12) Self Learning Module

on (Understanding Static and Dynamic IP Address for networking) !
This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help
learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
 EXPECT AT ION

COMPARISON OF STATIC AND DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS FOR NETWORKING

Definition of Static IP address and Dynamic IP Address

Static IP address is fixed in nature and does not change until it is manually
changed by the ISP or network administrator. Static IP address does not change
each time when the user connects to the network or sends a message. It is usually
assigned to the servers, mail servers etc.
When a host is configured with static IP address, the process includes a
workstation on a network using static IP addressing and accessing the desired
network element directly. Static IP addressing provides consistent and immediate
access with negligible overheads as associated IP address never alters. The benefit
of using static IP is that it gives less downtime, it also provides remote access,
which means a user can access his/her own pc from any location.

Dynamic IP address is usually configured on the devices using DHCP protocol,

and it frequently acquires changes. Each time the user connects to the network its
dynamic IP changes. The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
uses a system to trace and look up IP address information that associate to the
active network elements. The tool which is used for translation is known
as Domain Name Server (DNS).

DNS stores the IP address along with the mapped domain name to identify the
proper location of the network element and guides the network traffic to the right
point. The two protocols DHCP and DNS are extensively used while browsing the
internet. When a user tries to connect to the network DHCP provides you with a
dynamic IP address for a duration and when the user types a URL on the address
bar of a browser the DNS server maps the domain name to the IP address required
for the transmission of the web page.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES STATIC ROUTING

Advantages

 Easily implemented in a small network.

 No overheads are produced on router CPU.
 Secure because the routes are managed statically.
 It is predictable as the route to the destination is fixed.
 Extra resources (such as CPU and memory) are not required as update
mechanisms are not needed.
 Bandwidth usage is not required between routers.

Disadvantages

 Unsuitable for complex topologies and large networks.

 Large networks increase configuration complexity and time consumption.
 Link failure can hinder traffic rerouting.
 The administrator must be extra careful while configuring the routes.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DYNAMIC ROUTING

Advantages

 Suitable for all the topologies.

 Network size doesn’t affect the router operations.
 Topologies are adapted automatically to reroute the traffic.

Disadvantages

 Initially, it could be complicated to implement.

 The broadcasting and multicasting of routing updates make it less secure.
 Routes rely on current topologies.
 Additional resources are required such as CPU, memory and link bandwidth.

 WR AP UP

To connect our devices into computer networking, configuration of IP address is the

most essential part. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical
identifier assigned to each device on a network to identify each connection
uniquely. It encodes the network number and host number of the hosts and
routers connected to the network.

In Computer Networking, Routing is one of most important operation, in which the

data packet is moved from source to destination using an optimized path with a low
delay; the path is elected with the help of routing techniques. The difference
between static and dynamic routing lies in the table entries updation. In static
routing, the routing information is manually updated while in dynamic routing the
information is automatically updated using protocols.

When we compare static and dynamic IP address, the dynamic IP addresses is

more reliable than static because it eliminates the time-consuming process of
manual configuration. It is also less susceptible to the attacks as it periodically
changes, unlike static IP.

VALUI NG

Every device connected to computer network need an IP address, we learned that

we have two types of IP address use into network. Compare and differentiate the
two.
