When a computer configured to obtain an IP address automatically is unable to reach a DHCP server, which IP address range will it most likely assign to itself?
10.0.0.1 through 10.255.255.254
169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254
192.168.0.1 through 192.168.255.254
172.16.0.1 through 172.31.255.254
If a DHCP server is not available, clients configured for DHCP will auto-configure an IP address from a specific range. This range, designated for this purpose, is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254. Understanding that this range is reserved for APIPA is crucial because it indicates that the computer has self-assigned an IP address in the absence of a DHCP server. Having knowledge of this range is helpful for network troubleshooting and ensuring connectivity.
