Static IP Address Example & Set-Up Process

A static IP address is a fixed, unchanging identifier assigned to a device on a network. This permanence ensures devices like servers, printers, or security systems can be reliably accessed without needing to track changing addresses.  Static IPs are often used in settings requiring consistent connectivity, such as hosting websites, enabling remote access, or managing networked devices efficiently. For example, in an office, assigning a static IP to a shared printer allows all employees' device
