A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a computer. While the IP address seems to change when moving to different networks, one address remains consistent. Which address is the administrator observing?
- Dynamic IP Address
- MAC Address
- Static IP Address
- Subnet Mask
The consistent address that remains the same as a device moves across different networks is the MAC address (Media Access Control address). This is a unique hardware address assigned to the network interface card (NIC) of a device.
