Link-local IP addresses

The IP range 169.254.0.0/16 is reserved for link-local addresses. The concept behind is to let NICs still have an IP address when the DHCP server is not available. Only Windows and Mac stations support this function.

In IPv6, a dedicated address range has been reserved for this function. Link-local addresses always begin with FE80. With the 64-bit interface identifier, the prefix for link-local addresses is always FE80::/64. An IPv6 router never forwards link-local traffic beyond the link.
