a DHCP server. Select an address from the range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, and if no other device on the network
is using that address, it is used as your address.

IP Address (IP address setting)
An IP address is the address of a network device such as a computer and is included in IP packets as needed for the
sending and receiving of Internet data (IP packets). (IP addresses can be either destination addresses or source
addresses.)
Specifically, an IP address is a bit string consisting of a host address (or host section) that identifies a computer (host)
connected to the Internet and a network address (or network section) that identifies the network to which that computer
belongs (or more specifically, the computer's network interface). Bit strings (IP addresses) that are unique throughout the
entire Internet system are allocated to each computer or interface.
The IP addresses currently used on the Internet (IPv4) have a fixed length of 32 bits.
