Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Vs Static Internet Portocol

D.H.C.P - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - An extenstion to BOOTP that dynamically configures the device a much simpler protocol vs a static Internet Protocol address! ( CHANGES OVER TIME )


Static I.P - Static Internet Protocol is a fixed Internet Protocol address  ( The IP Address WILL NEVER CHANGES ) - A Static routing table contains information entered manually. The administrator enters the route for each destination into the table. When a table is created, it cannot update automatically when there is a change in the Internet. The table must be manually altered by the administrator.
