Introduction
The firm requires both static and dynamic IP addresses because the company has 100 users and the systems need to be reliably linked, findable, and accessible with accuracy. Additionally, human-friendly numbering on the system needs to be enforced using the proposed system.
Discussion
Moreover, static IPs are used by many corporate software for access management. However, employees may frequently want to access their mobile devices, such as laptops or tablets, to the network (Azad et al., 2020). For the automated network and ease of connectivity, dynamic IP addresses are required for configuration. Due to the above reasons, we will combine static and dynamic IP addresses in our company.
One of the pros of the static IP address is that it promotes convenient remote access. A static address is the most viable option when our company integrates remote working. This viability is because static address allows teleconferencing and other voice or video communications through the voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP). Additionally, static addresses can tell what computers or servers are online and even provide more information about the location or connectedness of these entities to the Internet (Azad et al., 2020). The company will also benefit by integrating static addresses, including speed, accessibility, security, hosting, and stability, in their connections.
Conclusion
Since static address might not fully cater to all the network requirements, it is vital to integrate dynamic (DHCP) address to solve the bottlenecks of the former IP address. Firstly, dynamic addresses are simpler to manage and deploy than static addresses. For example, the company can take a shorter period when the automatic perming configuration of a dynamic address is compared to a static one. This difference is due to the availability of the DHCP in the dynamic address, which assigns the company’s devices to the following available IP address (Azad et al., 2020). Secondly, dynamic addresses are more secure than static addresses since changing IP addresses when one connects to different networks prevents criminal hackers from monitoring employees’ online habits.
