Static IP Address
A network device can be given a static IP address: 10.1.50.2, and this is fixed, if the device is powered off and on the IP address will remain the same. With this method you configure the device settings with this IP address and save the configuration.

Dynamic IP Address
Use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - DHCP, to dynamically assign IP addresses to various devices, when the device is power off and on, it might get a new IP address, dependent on how the DHCP is setup.
