What is a "Live IP Address"?

For example, what does it mean when someone says: "I moved my project from place A to B via Live IP"?

Development, especially of websites, often takes place on a test machine or test network. This will be on the internal subnet, sometimes with databases, resources, scalability, and fault tolerance inaccessible, fake, or flashed.

When the system is ready for deployment, it is transferred to the Live IP address, which means that it is visible to the world, has a real database and other real resources ready to support it.

I dispute the phrase "on B via Live IP". I think itโ€™s more likely โ€œfrom A to B on Live IPโ€, which means that โ€œAโ€ is a test / development, and โ€œBโ€ is a real or โ€œliveโ€ setting.

I had never heard that before. Maybe this means that they moved their HTML / images / server-side code from the development machine / QA behind the firewall to a public server?

"LIVE IP" is simply connecting Premises virtual machines to the outside world. Suppose your room IP address is similar to 60.60.60.6 , and the outside world IP address will be similar to 192.168.100 .

You can get "Live IP" as follows:

  • WIN + R Button
  • ncpa.cpl
  • double-click "Local Area Connection"
  • Properties, and then select "Get the switch ..."
  • and complete it and write down the live IPs that you have.
  • now Select Use the following IP address and paste the IP addresses that you marked.
  • your live environment is ready now

I think this is just a term, basically the whole network works for NAT and uses DHCP. The NAT binding is mostly temporary and is updated after a new session begins. Since if your DHCP assigned you a new IP address or your NAT table expired, you are likely to get a new external IP address - I think Live IP means using this external IP address.

Although live IP - in your question sounds like a transfer mechanism, I think that it may have used the wrong English. It could be a โ€œforโ€ live IP, again, if I'm right, I would not recommend using unpopular terms. Because he spends a lot of time figuring out what this means.
