Questions
Q1.What is the difference between IP address and MAC address?
A1.
-IP address or
Internet Protocol address is the address assigned to your mobile,printer or
computer by the network that uses Internet protocol for communication .
-Mac address is your machine address
. This address will never change . It is the unique machine address given to
your device . Your device will have communication with the local area network
or any network using this address .
-The difference between IP address and MAC address is that the IP address can change with the change in network, but MAC address is the machine unique address that will never change.
Q2.What does lease obtained and lease expired means?
A2.
~ Lease can be said as a contract for a specified
time. For a computer to be able to connect to the network, it require an IP
address.The IP address is given by DHCP ( dynamic host configuration protocol)
server after receiving the requests. This is called lease. The lease obtained
will be expired and must be renewed so that the computer can continue to
connect to the network. So, it means that DHCP server lease an IP address to
the target, but the lease will expired and must be renewed, where lease obtained will shows the time lease obtained, and lease expired shows the time that lease expired.
Q3.What is the IP address for localhost?
A3
~ In computer networking, localhost is
the host name that means this computer. Usually the IP address for local host is
always set as 127.0.0.1.
~ Localhost is a registered name on the Internet, specifically the web,
that is specially reserved for a singular purpose as a localhost, to prevent
confusion. It is used to identify the devices across the webs. It make
connecting to local servers, such as in a Local Area Network, extremely
efficient by routing traffic through the address, allowing a direct route to
any service on the server, as opposed to specifying a specific route for each
service, and also makes it easier to access via the web with its dedicated,registered
domain name.
After this lesson , we found out that how to obtain IP address in LAN,
physical address(MAC
address), subnet mask, the DHCP server that provide the IP
address of a host computer and default
gateway IP address by using command prompt.
