What is characteristic of a dynamic IP address?

A dynamic IP address is characterized by its ability to change over time. Unlike static IP addresses, which are assigned permanently and remain the same until manually changed, dynamic IP addresses are assigned via a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server and can be reassigned to different devices or change at regular intervals. This allows for efficient use of IP address space, as multiple devices can share a limited number of IP addresses, with their addresses changing as devices connect and disconnect from the network. This dynamic allocation is particularly beneficial for networks with a large number of temporary devices, as it eliminates the need to manage a large pool of static addresses.
