Which type of IP address assignment requires the technician to enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the device so that the device always keeps the same network settings whenever it connects?
Static IP addressing is configured manually on the host. Because the settings are stored locally, the device keeps the same IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway until an administrator changes them. Dynamic addressing relies on a DHCP server, so the address can change at the end of each lease. APIPA is a self-assigned 169.254.x.x address used only when DHCP is unavailable, and NAT/PAT describes translating or sharing addresses on a router, not assigning them to a host.
