Explanation / Answer

Case Project 5-1

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

For the process I will require IP address of your your computer.
To know the IP address do the following steps:
* type run in search box of start menu and press enter
* This will open the run window, type here cmd and press enter
* this will open command prompt.
* In command prompt type ipconfig/renew then press enter.
* This will generate IP address of your computer.
* Note the IPv4 Address and Subnet Mask.

Reply me with the IPv4 Address and Subnet mask.
In case of any issue please let me know.

Regards,

APIPA is short for Automatic Private IP Addressing, a feature of later Windows operating systems, meant for non-routed small business environments, usually less than 25 clients. With APIPA, DHCP clients can automatically self-configure an IP address and subnet mask when a DHCP server isn't available. When a DHCP client boots up, it first looks for a DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address and subnet mask.

Automatic Configurations and Service Checks

If the client is unable to find the information, it uses APIPA to automatically configure itself with an IP address. The IP address range is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254. The client also configures itself with a default class B subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. A client uses the self-configured IP address until a DHCP server becomes available.

The APIPA service also checks regularly for the presence of a DHCP server (every five minutes, according to Microsoft). If it detects a DHCP server on the network, APIPA stops, and the DHCP server replaces the APIPA networking addresses with dynamically assigned addresses.

In this case it means DHCP server is not available.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer from a defined range of numbers (i.e., a scope) configured for a given network.
