In a Garrison environment, how are IP addresses typically assigned?

In a Garrison environment, IP addresses are typically assigned dynamically. This method involves using protocols like DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which automatically allocates IP addresses from a predefined range to devices on the network.

Dynamic assignment is advantageous because it simplifies network management, as devices can connect and be operational without requiring manual configuration of an IP address each time they join the network. As devices join or leave the network, IP addresses can be reused, maximizing efficiency and adaptability.

In contrast, static assignment would require manual configuration for each device, making it less practical in environments with a high turnover of devices, which is common in Garrison settings. Random assignment does not ensure that devices receive unique or valid IP addresses, leading to potential conflicts and connectivity issues. Automatic, while similar to dynamic, often refers to the general capability of systems to configure themselves without manual input but does not specifically indicate the method of IP address assignment.
