Computer Systems Servicing: Quarter 3 Self-Learning Module 13 Setting-Up IP Address

The document provides instructions on how to configure static and dynamic IP addresses in Windows operating systems. It explains that static IP addressing assigns each device a unique address, while dynamic addressing automatically assigns addresses using DHCP. The steps to configure static addressing involve opening the network connections window, changing adapter settings to use a specific IP address, and verifying the change using the command prompt. Dynamic addressing is configured by changing adapter settings to obtain an address automatically.

2. Apply the process on setting-up static and dynamic address;
3. Appreciate the importance of knowing the process on
setting-up address.

DIRECTION: Read the following statement carefully. Choose the best answer by
encircling your answer.

1. What does DHCP stand for?


a. Dynamic Hyper Computer Protocol
b. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
c. Dynamic Host Computer Protocol
d. Dynamic Hyper Configuration protocol
2. Which of the following is the correct arrangement on how to configure a
static IPv4 address?
i. Run command by pressing windows key + r
ii. Type ncpa.cpl then click ok or press enter.
iii. Right click on your local adapter and select properties.
iv. Select the radial button “Use the following IP address”.
v. Select the radial button “obtain an IP address automatically”.
a. i-ii-iii-iv c. iii-i-ii-iv
b. i-ii-iii-v d. iii-i-ii-v
3. Which of the following is not useful when configuring a static IP address?
a. 192.168.1.1 c. ipconfig/renew
b. Subnet Mask d. ncpa.cpl
4. We can check whether the network adapter settings have been changed
successfully using command prompt. Which of the following line should be
entered in command prompt to accomplish this?
a. ipconfig/renew c. ipconfig
b. ncpa.cpl d. netstat
5. The ncpa.cpl is a Microsoft Windows connections properties control panel
file. What does NCPA stands for?
a. Network Configuration Protocol Application
b. Network Control Protocol Application
c. Network Control Panel Applet
d. Network Configuration Panel Application
• On our last module, we have learned that 192.168.1.131 is an example of
an IPv4 address. The IPv4 is divided into four groups which called octet and
each octet is equivalent to 8 bits. An IPv4 address is a 32-bit address
because when we combined all of those 8 bits of four, we will have a total of
32.
• We have also learned that fe80::5d18:652:cffd:8f52 is an example of an IPV6
address. IPv6 is an update to IPV4 which greatly expands the capabilities of
an IP protocol.
• With an IPv4 address, people can have approximately millions unique
addresses around the globe. But with the IPv6 you can have Undecillion
addresses around the globe.
• Writing out the entire IPv6 address is not easy because of its length. But we
can abbreviate and compress this address down to smaller size that will
make easier for us to manage.

INTRODUCTION
When organizing your home network, it’s easier to assign each computer its
own IP address than using DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Here
we will take a look at doing it in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.
If we have a home network with several computers and devices, it is always
a good idea to assign each of them a specific address. It would save a lot of time
figuring out what IP do you have when doing troubleshooting on your network.
When you use DHCP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, each computer will
request an IP address to the server and the server will assign automatically a
vacant IP address for your computer. It will repeat this kind of process each time
the computer booted up. Therefore, there is a chance that the IP address of your
computer before is not the same as it is booted up now. It is annoying going to
each computer to figure out what IP they have. This method of assigning an IP
address is known as dynamic.
The other way of assigning an IP address is known as static. Using Static
IPs prevents address conflicts between devices and allows you to manage them
more easily. Assigning IPs to Windows is essentially the same process but getting
to where you need to be depends between each version.
IPv4 Address Static Configuration
If you are using windows 7, windows 8, windows server or windows 10, do
the following instructions.
• Run command by pressing windows key + r
• Type ncpa.cpl then click ok or press enter.

The ncpa.cpl is a Microsoft Windows connections properties control panel


file. The ncpa means network control panel applet while cpl means control panel.
• Right click on your local adapter and select properties.
• In the Local Area Connection Properties windows highlight Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCPIP/IPv4) then click Properties button.

• Now, select the radial button “Use the following IP address” and enter in
the correct IP, subnet mask and default gateway that corresponds with
your network setup. Then enter your preferred and alternate DNS server
addresses.
• When you’re finished click OK.

Please be reminded that setting the correct values for IP, subnet mask and
default gateway is very important in configuring a static IP address. You need to
make sure that all of the details about this configuration has been noted before
you change settings from dynamic to static.

Com mand Prompt


Now, we will be using the command prompt in order to check whether the
network adapter settings have been changed successfully.
• Run command by pressing windows key + r again.
• Type cmd then click ok or press enter.
• Type ipconfig and then press enter.

IPv4 Address Dynam ic Configuration


If you want to set your configuration back to dynamic, just follow the
instructions below.
• Run command by pressing windows key + r
• Type ncpa.cpl then click ok or press enter.
• Right click on your local adapter and select properties.
• In the Local Area Connection Properties windows highlight Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCPIP/IPv4) then click Properties button.
• Now, select the radial button “obtain an IP address automatically”.
• When you’re finished click OK.
There are times that the computers or devices will obtain the IP address
immediately after doing the configuration above. However, if it didn’t obtain an IP
address automatically after doing this set up, we need to take one more step using
the command prompt in order to make this work.
• Run command by pressing windows key + r
• Type cmd then click ok or press enter.
• Inside the command prompt, type ipconfig/release

• Then type ipconfig/renew


DIRECTION: Arrange the following sequence of steps to IPv4 address static
configuration. Write numbers 1-5 on the blank line.
_________1. Type ncpa.cpl then click ok or press enter.
_________2. Run command by pressing windows key + r.
_________3. In the Local Area Connection Properties windows highlight Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCPIP/IPv4) then click Properties button.
_________4. Right click on your local adapter and select properties.
_________5. Select the radial button “Use the following IP address” and enter in the
correct IP, subnet mask and default gateway that corresponds with your network
setup.

The ncpa.cpl is a Microsoft Windows connections properties control panel file.


The ncpa means network control panel applet while cpl means control panel.
The other way of assigning an IP address is known as static. Using Static IPs
prevents address conflicts between devices and allows you to manage them more
easily. Assigning IPs to Windows is essentially the same process but getting to where
you need to be depends between each version.
There are times that the computers or devices will obtain the IP address
immediately after doing the configuration inside the network control panel. However,
if it didn’t obtain an IP address automatically after doing this set up, we need to use
the command prompt to release and renew the IP address to make this work.

three sentences each number.
