A temporary IP address assigned from an available pool is known as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) address. This type of address is dynamically allocated to devices on a network for a limited time, allowing them to connect and communicate without requiring a static IP configuration. Once the lease time expires, the address can be reclaimed and reassigned to other devices.
That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned. Any time a host (computer or similar) requests an IP address, the DHCP server will assign an available address and mark it, in its memory, as "assigned" so it won't assign the same address to another computer.That means that the DHCP server keeps track of what IP addresses - out of a pool (or set) of addresses - have been assigned.

The remaining addresses form the Available Address Pool which can then be dynamically assigned to DHCP clients
Your Router is assigned an IP address that is known as a public IP address then your router assigns out IP addresses that are known as local IP addresses. So the answer is yes and yes!
These addresses are not assigned to devices because they have a reserved meaning. All zeroes refers to "this network", and all ones usually is assigned to a broadcast address (all devices).
Usually, in dynamic addressing models, the host obtains its IP address via DHCP - an administrator sets up a pool of available addresses in an IP range (called a scope) and gives them to clients as they ask for addresses.
the IP address is assigned to your computer by your DHCP server you can only have 1 true ip address, although you can have ghost ip address and private ip addresses Private Addresses are not routable through the internet Ghosts IP addresses are normally used to cover something up, usually something illegal ;)
IP addresses are normally assigned dynamically by the router.
IP addresses are assigned by the network administrator, or ISP. The computer does have to be configured manually to respond to that specific address.
static reffers to the internet protocol or I.P. , when you keep the same i.p. address all the time instead of being dynamically assigned an i.p. address from a pool of available addresses. "NAT" stands for network address translation
A dynamic address, assigned by the DHCP server. Static addresses can also be assigned by the DHCP server through reservations using the unique MAC addresses to identify each machine. This ensures a machine receives the same address each time it requests an address from the server.
IP addresses are supplied by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which are organizations that provide users with internet access. When a user connects to the internet, the ISP assigns an IP address from its pool of available addresses. Additionally, in larger organizations or networks, static IP addresses may be assigned by network administrators for specific devices.
A static IP address is not temporary; it is a fixed address that does not change over time. Unlike dynamic IP addresses, which are assigned by a DHCP server and can change periodically, a static IP is manually configured and remains constant unless it is changed by the network administrator. This stability makes static IPs useful for hosting servers or services that require consistent access.
