What is an IP Address?
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
IP addresses consist of a series of four numbers separated by decimal points. There are two types of IP addresses: static and dynamic. Static IP addresses remain the same and are unchanging. They are permanent and are used as easy identifiers. Dynamic IP addresses are temporary and change.
