Advantages include better security, while disadvantages involve slower network speeds.

Advantages include automatic IP allocation, while disadvantages involve increased complexity in managing addresses.

Advantages include dynamic address assignment, while disadvantages involve higher costs.

12 / 25

Describe the difference between a default gateway and a subnet gateway in networking.

A default gateway connects devices within the same network, while a subnet gateway connects different networks.

A default gateway is used for wireless connections, while a subnet gateway is for wired connections.

A default gateway is used for public networks, while a subnet gateway is for private networks.

A default gateway is used for IPv4, while a subnet gateway is for IPv6.

13 / 25

Explain the concept of a subnet mask and its role in IP addressing.

A subnet mask is used to encrypt network traffic.

A subnet mask identifies the network and host portions of an IP address.

A subnet mask converts private IP addresses to public IP addresses.

20 / 25

Differentiate between static and dynamic IP addressing.

Static addresses change automatically, while dynamic addresses remain constant.

Static addresses are assigned manually, while dynamic addresses are allocated by DHCP.

Static addresses are used for public networks, while dynamic addresses are for private networks.

Dynamic addresses are more secure than static addresses.

21 / 25

Describe Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) in IPv4. What is its purpose?
