Static IP Address

A static IP address is fixed and does not change. They are used to identify semi-permanent devices with constant IP addresses. A static IP address is used by servers.

The static IP addresses can be configured directly on the device or as part of a central DHCP configuration which associates the device's MAC address with a static address.



A Static IP address is where a computer uses the same address every time a user logs on to a network, such as the Internet. With a static IP address, a computer's identity can be easily identified by others, and users can easily connect with it. That way, for example, a website, email server, or other type of server connection can be hosted.

Many people want to have a static IP address.
