The most important consideration is how many devices will be on the network / subnet.
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.
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.
Any address in the 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 range is considered a private (reserved) IP address in the class A address space.
The technology is used by private network ranges that has extended the useful life of Ipv4 addressing and slowed the adoption rate of Ipv6 is NAT . NAT is short for network address translation. NAT provides mapping between private and universal addresses.
If you're in a situation when you're not addressing them as "Sir" or "Ma'am", they're usually addressed simply as "Colonel".
If you mean when a computer cannot receive a IP address, it is called APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing). What that does is if the computer cannot receive a ip address from the DHCP (Dynamic host control protocol) server. It is assigned a IP address 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. Note: Keep in mind you will not be able to access the Internet because this is a private address.
Not on the same network it can't. If you are using internal private addressing then the address could be duplicated in many other networks. Private addresses and NAT proxy do not reveal the actual IP address (it is translated on the way out of and into a network). In that case the internal IP address may be the same (in different networks).
Automatic Private IP Addressing
APIPA - Automatic Private IP Addressing uses a range of addresses 169.254.0.0-169.254.255.255 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. If your address starts with 169.254, there is a good chance you are using APIPA.
It's called APIPA (automatic private ip addressing).
