What is the difference between 'static' and 'dynamic' IP addresses?

Static IP addresses are assigned automatically; dynamic IP addresses are manually configured.

Static IP addresses are permanent; dynamic IP addresses can change.

Static IP addresses are for servers; dynamic IP addresses are for clients.

There is no significant difference.

Static IP addresses remain constant, while dynamic IP addresses can change, typically assigned by a DHCP server.
