MAC address ip address difference between IP address and MAC address

2. There are mainly two type of Addresses:-
1.Physical Address( MAC address)
2.Logical Address ( IP address )

3.  The physical address is also called the MAC
address and it is generated by the manufacturer of
NIC(network interface card ).
 The Media Access Control (MAC) address. MAC
addresses are six bytes (48 bits) that
manufacturers of network adapters burn into their
products to uniquely identify them.
Example:
01:02:31:a2:b3:cf

4.  A network interface card (NIC) is a computer
circuit board or card that is installed in a
computer so that it can be connected to a
network.

6.  Click Start then Run
 Enter: cmd
 Enter: ipconfig /all
 The Physical Address is your MAC address; it
will look like 00-15-E9-2B-99-3C. You will have
a physical address for each network connection
that you have.
(PHYSICAL ADDRESS )

7.  Internet Protocol Address (or IP Address) is a 32
bits unique address that computing devices use
to identify itself and communicate with other
devices in the Internet Protocol network
 IP address uniquely identify all computers on the
public Internet.
 It signifies the address of both the sender and
receiver of packets on a network.
Example: 172.16.254.1 (IPv4) 32 bits
2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 ( IPv6) 128 bits

8. Type of IP Address
1. Static ip address: A static IP address is an IP
address that can be manually configured for a
device and it will never change
2. Dynamic ip address: A dynamic IP address is
an IP address assigned by a DHCP( Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server which can be
change automatically any time.

10.  Advantages:
 Running Servers
computers using this type of address can host servers containing data
that other computers access through the Internet.
 Stability
Static IP addresses are also more stable for Internet use since they
never change
 Disadvantage:
 Need Many Numbers of Addresses
One main disadvantage of static IP addresses is that each address,
once assigned, is occupied by a single computer even when that
computer is not in use.

11.  Advantages:
 Need less administration
It requires very less administration because all work is done
by DHCP automatically
 Save Time
In a large LAN network, dynamic IP helps you to save your
time as you need not to configure hundreds of computers
manually
 Disadvantage:
 Can’t make server
The main disadvantage of dynamic IP is that it is not suited
to web hosting. You would require static IP then.

12.  Click Start then Run
 Enter: cmd
 Enter: ipconfig /all
 The IPv4 is your IP address; it will look
like198.165.25.12
 We can also check IP is Dynamic or Static
 If the line DHCP Enabled has a Yes beside
it, you have a dynamic IP address if there
is NO beside DHCP you have static IP
Address
