IP ADDRESSES

Today, in the ICT lesson we learnt what an IP ADDRESS is and its types, we also learnt how to change your NIC IP Configuration and the most important peripherals.

-          An IP ADDRESS is a group of four numbers separated by dots. The first number shouldn’t be higher than 256. Types of IP: Public and Private, Static and dynamic:

-          PUBLIC: they are the ones that can be found on the internet.

-          PRIVATE: it is something that you have to connect to a router without showing your IP Address on the internet. It usually starts with a 10 or 192, for example: 192.168.X.X or 10.X.X.X

-          STATIC:   it is manually configured.

-          DYNAMIC:  it is an IP ADDRESS that is configured externally and that changes every time you turn your router on.

-          A router has two IP ADDRESSES, one is Public and the other one is an internal IP ADDRESS, the Private one.
