Final answer:

Static vs. dynamic IP addresses and MAC addresses explained.


Explanation:

A static IP address is an IP address that remains constant and does not change. In contrast, a dynamic IP address is assigned from a pool of available IP addresses by a server and can change periodically. Both types are used because static IP addresses are ideal for servers, websites, and devices requiring constant access, while dynamic IP addresses are more efficient for general internet users.

A MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications within a network. The two types of MAC addresses are locally administered MAC addresses that are manually set by the device's user and globally assigned MAC addresses that are assigned by the manufacturer.
