| - | 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.
