SETTING UP IPV4 IN VIRTUAL SERVER AND CLIENT MACHINE

CONFIGURING A STATIC IP ADDRESS: A COMPLETE GUIDE FOR THE NETWORK 

This Article is for those people. who is trying to configure the Local server, going to configure the Network server? When they check YouTube and Google how to configure the Network in the Server and the client computer. There are lots of results he got but No one tells them what kinds of Numbers should be there

Yes There, So when you watched about that on the Internet. you just copied those IPV4 Address numbers or anything else.

This article covers everything, that you really need to know.

So When you are going to configure the Local server and set up the Static IP address, You should know about four things 1. IP Address, 2. Subnet mask 3. Default gateway 4. The preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server are not crucial as the above four 

IPv4 Address

An IPv4 address is a 32-bit numeric identifier assigned to devices on a network, represented in dotted decimal format (e.g., 192.168.1.1). It helps routing data between devices across the Internet or within a local network.

Default Gateway

The default gateway is the router's IP address on a network that directs traffic from a local network to external networks or the Internet.

Subnet Mask

A subnet mask divides an IP address into the network and host portions. For example, 255.255.255.0 is a common subnet mask for Class C networks.

Preferred and Alternative DNS

DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. Preferred DNS is the primary server, while Alternative DNS serves as a backup if the preferred DNS fails.

Now when you go to the control panel and network settings,set your network in the static IP  address, what kind of number should be there, Right?

Relax I will tell you about that 

So if we talk about the IP address, The IP address is unique for the devices in your local network. If your route's IP is 192.168.1.1, you can assign something like 192.168.1.x where x is a number between 2 and 254 (as long as it's not already used by another device).

Default gateway: This is typically the IP address of your router. It directs traffic to the internet. Most home routers use something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 as the default gateway.

Subnet mask: For small home or office networks, the subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0, which allows up to 254 devices in the network. ( You can copy what I wrote there if you configuring the home network) .

DNS( Preferred and Alternate): you can use a public DNS server like Google's (8.8.8.8 for preferred and 8.8.4.4 for alternate ) or your internet service provider's DNS.

These values depend on your specific network configuration, but these are common standards.
