IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 are reserved for Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA). APIPA is a feature of Windows operating systems that allows a computer to automatically assign itself an IP address when it cannot obtain one from a DHCP server. These IP addresses are also known as link-local addresses because they are only valid for communication on a single network segment and cannot be routed.
