1. How to check your computer IP address? Give me several ways on how to do it.
-Using the command prompt to find your ip address and router’s Ip address
-Find public ip address from your browser
-Check your ip address from local area connection
2. How are we going to setup static IP configuration ?
Step 1: Click Start Menu > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center. (For Windows 8 and higher, search for and open Control Panel and select Network And Internet). Click Change adapter settings.
Step 2: Right-clock on Local Area Connection and click on Properties
Step 3 : Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
Step 4: Select "Use the following IP address" and enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway. and DNS server. Click OK and close the Local Area Connection properties window.
3. When do we need to setup static IP configuration ?
A static IP address is useful if you host a website from home, have a file server in your network, are using networked printers, are forwarding ports to a specific device, are running a print server, or if you use a remote access program. Because a static IP address never changes, other devices always know exactly how to contact a device that uses one.
4.Do you know the type of UTHM IP configuration ? Is it static or dynamic?
Static.
5.What is static IP ?
A static Internet Protocol (IP) address (static IP address) is a permanent number assigned to a computer by an Internet service provider (ISP). Static IP addresses are useful for gaming, website hosting or Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services.
6. What is dynamic IP ? When do we need to use dynamic IP ?
• A dynamic IP address is an IP address that's automatically assigned to each connection, or node, of a network, like your smartphone, desktop PC, wireless tablet and etc. This IP addresses is done by what's called a DHCP server.
• Dynamic IP change from time to time, automatically without notice . Most IP addresses assigned today by Internet Service Providers are dynamic IP addresses. It's more cost effective for the ISP and you. Dynamic IP address are more flexible, and easier to setup and administer, than static IP address assignments.
7.By using two IP addresses, show me how to configure a simple network ( Consist of Computer A and Computer B). Show me step by step.
Using advanced TCP/IP settings, you can configure a single network interface on a computer to use multiple IP addresses and multiple gateways. This allows a computer to appear to be several computers and to access multiple logical subnets to route information or to provide internetworking services.
The best way to configure multiple gateways depends on the configuration of your network. If your organization's computers use DHCP, you'll probably want to configure the additional gateways through settings on the DHCP server. If computers use static IP addresses or you want to set gateways specifically, assign them by following these steps:
1. Click Start and then click Network. In Network Explorer, click Network and Sharing Center on the toolbar.
2. In Network and Sharing Center, click Manage Network Connections. In Network Connections, right-click the connection you want to work with and then select Properties.
3. Double-click Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) or internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) as appropriate for the type of IP address you are configuring.
4. Click Advanced to open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box. Figure 21-2 shows advanced settings for IPv4. The dialog box for IPv6 is similar.
