The answer to this question will depend to some extent on what you are calling a router and the function that the 'router' is being used for.
Originally in computer networking the function of a 'router' was simply to route packets of data between two different networks, typically when these were using different networking protocols. In this usage the router only controls the flow of the data packets based on the IP address of the destination, it does not control the addresses themselves.
In modern usage the term 'router' has come to be applied to a much more complex device, commonly used at home, to run a small home network and to connect this home network to the internet. These devices contain (primarily) a real router as above and also a network server. In this role one of the functions of the server component of the router is to assign the IP addresses to each of the devices on the home network as they connect to it. So, in this usage - yes the router controls IP addressing. This function is called DHCP or "dynamic host configuration protocol"
You can configure most routers to function as a DHCP server, or turn it off. Most routers have this turned on as default.
What else can I help you with?
Why does your computer get the same ip address from different routers?
IP addresses are assigned by DHCP servers, not by routers. DHCP servers will cache your IP address and reassign the same IP until the cache is cleared. ----
Which of the following is true about IP?
It is used by both routers and hosts
Why is a router called a stateless device?
Actually not all routers are stateless devices. There are stateful routers also. The definition depends on the IP filtering and routing algorithms used. Routers which have static IP filters and routing tables are of the stateless type. Routers with Static IP filters allow direct connections from the external network to hosts on the internal network and typically there is no authentication. More intelligent and secure routers with dynamic IP address and packet based filtering are known as stateful type. Stateful routers can also have application proxies or gateways. These have more overheads for processing packets passing through the routers. - Neeraj Sharma
Which IP addressing method assigns an IP address to a client manually?
Static IP
What is a packet-switching protocol that performs addressing and route selection?
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
Do routers have ip address?
Yes. Routers normally have more than one IP address.
How are most wireless routers automatically configured?
Most routers can be configured with a web based utility by entering the routers IP address in the browsers address text box.
Where can one learn about IP addressing?
There are a couple of places where someone can learn about IP addressing. Check out Microsoft's official website for more information and the website called What's My IP.
Valid option for ip addressing on a frame relay network?
In a Frame Relay network, valid IP addressing typically involves using private IP address ranges (such as those defined by RFC 1918) for internal communication, while public IP addresses can be used for connections to external networks. The IP addresses are often assigned to the routers at each end of the Frame Relay circuit, with proper subnetting to accommodate the number of devices. Additionally, encapsulation protocols like Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) may be used to facilitate IP communication over the Frame Relay link. Proper configuration of IP addressing and routing protocols is essential for efficient data transmission across the network.
What are the different addressing schemes used in networking?
MAC addressing. IP addressing. port addressing. specific address.
What are some recommended books about Cisco routers?
Some recommended books about Cisco routers are: Cisco Router Configuration, Cisco Routers For The Desperate, Cisco Routers for IP Router, Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching.
