Answer Key

Static IP address
Section A: Quick Questions
Q1
B — False
Q2
A — Set manually by a person
Q3
A — A web server that must always be found at the same address
Q4
A — 192.168.1.50
Q5
B — The address is predictable
Section B: Match the Pairs
Q1
static IP address → An IP address that is set once, usually by hand, and stays the same every time the device connects
Q2
IP address: 192.168.1.50 (set manually) → A static IP address that was typed in by hand and gives the device a predictable address
Q3
A static IP address does not change when the device disconnects and reconnects → Monday: 192.168.1.50, Tuesday: 192.168.1.50
Q4
A static IP address is set manually by a person, not given out automatically → Network settings: Manual, IP = 192.168.1.50
Q5
A static IP address changes each time the device connects → This describes a dynamic IP address. A static IP address stays the same every time the device connects.
Q6
A static IP address is given out automatically by the network each time → A static IP address is usually set manually and then kept. Automatic allocation that can change each time is a dynamic IP address.
Section C: Definitions
Q1
static IP address — An IP address that is set once, usually by hand, and stays the same every time the device connects, so the device always has a predictable address.
Section D: Fill in the Blanks
Q1
INPUT ipAddress
Q2
IF ipMode = "static" THEN
Q3
ipAddress ← "192.168.1.20" OUTPUT ipAddress
Q4
ipMode ← "static" IF ipMode = "static" THEN OUTPUT "Address never changes"
Q5
IF ipMode = "static" THEN OUTPUT "Same address" ENDIF
Section E: Spot the Error
Q1
D — A static IP address is set manually by a person, not automatically by the network. Line 4 should be setBy ← "manual".
Q2
B — An address that is set once and kept is a static IP address, not a dynamic one. Line 2 should be type ← "static".
Q3
D — A static IP address does not change when the device connects again. The loop should keep using the same ip, so line 4 should be OUTPUT ip.
Q4
C — A static IP address stays the same every time the device connects, so the output should say the address is the same, not new.
Q5
C — A static IP address is predictable because it never changes, so other devices always know where to find it. Line 3 should be predictable ← TRUE.
