Here are four important questions extracted from your query regarding IP

addresses:
1. What is static and dynamic IP address?
 Static IP addresses are fixed and manually assigned to a device,
while dynamic IP addresses are assigned by a DHCP server and
can change over time.
2. How is the IP address allocated?
 IP addresses are allocated through a process involving DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for dynamic addresses,
where a server assigns an IP from a pool, or manually for static
addresses, where an administrator assigns a specific IP to a device.
3. What are the four different classes of IP addresses and how are they
divided?
 IP addresses are divided into five classes (A, B, C, D, E), with
Classes A, B, and C being used for host addressing. Class A
supports a large number of hosts, Class B supports a moderate
number, and Class C supports a smaller number of hosts.
4. What is the use of an IP address?
 An IP address is used to identify devices on a network, allowing
them to communicate with each other and access the internet.
Here’s a brief overview of each question:
1. Static and Dynamic IP Addresses
 Static IP Address: A permanent address assigned to a device, which does
not change.
 Dynamic IP Address: An address that can change periodically, assigned
by a DHCP server.
2. How IP Addresses are Allocated
 Dynamic Allocation: Managed by DHCP, where devices request an IP
address from a pool.
 Static Allocation: Manually assigned by network administrators.
3. Classes of IP Addresses
 Class A: Supports 16 million hosts, used for large networks.
 Class B: Supports 65,000 hosts, used for medium-sized networks.
 Class C: Supports 254 hosts, used for small networks.
 Class D: Used for multicast groups.
 Class E: Reserved for experimental purposes.
4. Use of IP Addresses
 Identifies devices on a network.
 Facilitates communication between devices.
 Enables access to the internet and services.
These questions cover essential aspects of IP addresses and their functionality in
networking.
