I think you're thinking of the protocol used to automatically assign IP addresses? An IP address does not assign an IP address, and IP address is a node on a network where data can be sent or received. The protocol used for automatic assigning of IP addresses would be DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

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.


What range does APIPA come from?

APIPA, or Automatic Private IP Addressing, is a feature used in networking that automatically assigns IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This range is reserved for devices that cannot obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. When a device is configured to use DHCP and fails to receive an address, it will assign itself an APIPA address within this range, allowing for local communication on the same network segment.
