static IP address
Unchanging network identifier
A static IP address is a permanent numerical identifier assigned to a device on a network, as opposed to a dynamic IP address that changes periodically.
Servers, printers, and network equipment typically use static IPs so other devices can reliably locate them: The office printer needs a static IP address so everyone can find it.
