What is 169.254.x.x IPv4 address?

169.254.x.x is a link-local IP address that gets assigned automatically when, generally, DHCP is not available. On Windows operating system, this is called APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing). RFC 3927 defines the 169.254.0.0/16 address block for use in the link-local assignments. Note that routers are not supposed to route traffic from this address block.
