Explanation
A MAC address is a media access control address, so the first blank is control.
Each device carries a unique MAC address, filling the second blank.
That unique address helps identify the device on the network, the third blank.
An IP address is an internet protocol address, giving the fourth blank as protocol.
An IP address can be static or dynamic, so the last blank is dynamic.
A MAC address is fixed in hardware, while a dynamic IP is assigned freshly by the network.
