-An **Internet Protocol address (IP address)** is a logical numeric address that is assigned to every single computer, printer, [[ddsf:private:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​s:​switch|switch]],​ [[ddsf:private:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​r:​router|router]] or any other device that is part of a [[ddsf:private:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​t:​tcp|TCP]]/​IP-based network.+An **Internet Protocol address (IP address)** is a logical numeric address that is assigned to every single computer, printer, [[ddsf:public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​s:​switch|switch]],​ [[ddsf:public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​r:​router|router]] or any other device that is part of a [[ddsf:public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​t:​tcp|TCP]]/​IP-based network.
  
 The [[ddsf:​public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​i:​ip]] address is the core component on which the networking architecture is built; no network exists without it. An IP address is a logical address that is used to uniquely identify every node in the network. Because IP addresses are logical, they can change. They are similar to addresses in a town or city because the IP address gives the [[ddsf:​public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​n:​netnode|network node]] an address so that it can communicate with other nodes or networks, just like mail is sent to friends and relatives. The [[ddsf:​public:​guidebook:​06_append:​glossary:​i:​ip]] address is the core component on which the networking architecture is built; no network exists without it.
