IPv4 addresses are always dynamic, whereas IPv6 addresses are always static.

Question 13

How does a router differ from a switch in a computer network?

Accepted Answer

A router connects different networks, while a switch connects devices within the same network.

Answer

A router operates only on the physical layer, while a switch operates on the network layer.

Answer

A switch assigns IP addresses, while a router uses MAC addresses exclusively.
