APIPA

(Automatic Private IP Addressing) A feature in Windows DHCP processing that assigns a class B IP address in the 169.254.0.0 range to the client when a DHCP server is unavailable. Designed for small non-routable networks, if a DHCP server becomes available afterwards, the APIPA address is replaced with one from the DHCP server. See DHCP.
