What IP address will a computer use if the static addressing is not configured and the DHCP server is unavailable?

A computer running Windows (except Windows NT) will use a system named APIPA (Automatic Private internet Protocol Addressing) to assign itself an IP address.
Using APIPA, the computer will assign itself an IP address from the 169.254.0.0 /16 network which is part of the private class B IP range. The valid address range for this network is 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 The subnet mask for this network is 255.255.0.0
The computers will use ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) to confirm that the IP address that it has chosen is unique and not being used by any other computer on the local network. When the DHCP server becomes available again, the computers will contact it and attempt to lease or renew a new IP address.

What does an ip address of 169.254.0.12 indicate?
Nothing. That is not a valid IP address as its stands however ip addresses with the first 2 octets of 169.254.xxx.xxx means that Automatic Private IP Addressing has been enabled because no DHCP server was found and no static address has been defined.
What is Direct Addressing in computer systems architecture?
Direct Addressing in computer systems architecture is when the number in the address field of the instruction is the actual memory address to be accessed.
When a computer has not been configured to have an ip address how does it receive one?
As soon as it communicates with a remote server, the server allocates a unique IP address in order to identify the individual computer.
What is the difference between IP address and Network addressing?
ip is what they use 4 ur computer the other thing is where ur computer is at
What are computer requirements link in a network?
Should have a LAN Card installed & configured properly on the Computer to connect it to network.
How does your ip gets assigned?
IP addresses are assigned by the network administrator, or ISP. The computer does have to be configured manually to respond to that specific address.
How you can access to specific computer that locate withing wireless network?
You can use its IP address or network name (your firewall has to be configured properly).
What does 169.254.10.1 indicates?
169.254.10.1 is an IP address generated automatically by a computer when it is unable to lease an address from a DHCP server. It is called an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address.
Computer A has an IP address of 169.254.45.21 what does this mean?
This is an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address. When Windows computers can't get an IP address from a DHCP server, they automatically assign themselves this address.
How do you overcome cyberoam firewall?
Hi, Your question is very generic. To bypass cyberoam firewall. you need to understand how cyberoam is configured and what kind of rules are created. If your firewall is configured to block specific IP address and authentication is not enabled you can change IP address of your computer and can bypass restrictions.
What are the different addressing schemes used in networking?
MAC addressing. IP addressing. port addressing. specific address.
What are static and dynamic addressing?
If a network uses static addressing, it means that each network interface has an assigned IP address that it uses all of the time or whenever it is online. If a network uses dynamic addressing, it means that when a network interface asks to join the network, it is randomly allocated an IP address from a pool of available addresses within that network. Thus, under dynamic addressing, a computer may possess over time (e.g. across reboots) a variety of different IP addresses, but under static addressing the computer has a well-defined IP address which it uses always and which no other computer ever uses. Dynamic addressing is most useful in applications such as dial-up networks, VPNs, and similar scenarios where end-user machines are intermittently connected to the network.
