Allocating the 192.168.1.4 IP address automatically

The IP address can be obtained automatically by computers and other networking devices that use DHCP to support the dynamic address assignment. It is often referred to as the ‘DHCP pool’. It means that the router or modem determines the address that has to be assigned based on the range that is setup for its management.

If a router is setup to have the 192.168.1.1 IP address, it will maintain the other addresses which begin with 192.168.’1.2’ and end with 192.168.’1.255’ in the DHCP pool. The pooled addresses will be typically assigned by a router in a sequential arrangement. 192.168.1.4 IP becomes the third address in this example after 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 have been allocated.

Allocating the 192.168.1.4 IP address manually
