Static or Dynamic

When a device is assigned a static IP address. the address does not change. Most devices use dynamic IP addresses which by assigned by the network-based server, these dynamic addresses may change over time.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask is a 32-bit number that masks an IP address and divides the IP address into network address and host address, subnet mask is made by setting network bits to all "1" and setting host bits all "0".

Gateway

A gateway is a node or a router address in a computer network. The gateway decides to route the network traffic to another destination.

DNS Setting

DNS stands for Domain Name Server setting on your computer specify which DNS server will be used, or which IP address should be used for a particular domain or to access the internet.
