Purpose of a Dynamic IP Address
- Internet service providers assign default IP addresses to their clients, which are known as dynamic IP addresses. Because they are easy to set up, they are perfect for frequent internet users.
- Static IP addresses need additional fees and setup expenses because they are permanent. Additionally, they are more constrained than the set address range that a dynamic IP address offers.
- The fact that dynamic IP addresses are more manageable and versatile is one of their main benefits. Thus, ISPs may quickly and cheaply set up dynamic IP addresses and have them automatically updated.
- To deploy the IP address, they only need to turn on DHCP on the router. By default, almost all network devices with dynamic IP addresses are set up to choose an address from a list of addresses.
What is a Dynamic IP Address?
A Dynamic IP address is an IP address that shifts from time to time than a static IP address. Most Networks in homes are expected to have a dynamic IP address and the reason for this is because it is cost adequate for Internet Service Providers to allocate dynamic IP addresses to their customers.
Your IP address is pulled from a pool of addresses and then assigned to your home network by your ISP, as opposed to one IP address that is always assigned to your home network—a Static IP address. You are given a new IP address and that IP address is returned to the pool after a few days, weeks, or even months.
