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).

How do you find an APIPA address at first glance?

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 is the default IP address of Windows?

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.


Which IP address below is a reserved IP address?

Reserved IP addresses are 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 and 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 Every address in these ranges is considered reserved or private, meaning the internet will NOT route to them without an NAT.


What is public ip and private ip address?

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks): 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255Also, IP addresses in the range of 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255 are reserved for Automatic Private IP Addressing. These IP's should not be used on the Internet. I usually use 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 when assigning static IP addresses to computers on a small Local Area Networks (LANs). If a DHCP server is also on the LAN it's scope (range of IP addresses that it can assign to computers on the LAN set to obtain their IP addresses automatically) should be adjusted so it does not interfere with locally assigned static IP addresses.
