What does it mean if a system's IP address is within the 169.254.0.0/16 network ID?
What will be an ideal response?
If a system's IP address is within the 169.254.0.0/16 network ID, it means that it is using an Automatic Private IP Address (APIPA). This is an indication that a DHCP client tried to get a DHCP address and failed. All DHCP clients are designed to generate an APIPA address automatically if they do not receive a response to a DHCP Discover message. The client only generates the last two octets of an APIPA address. This at least allows the dynamic clients on a single network to continue to communicate with each other because they are on the same network ID.
