APIPA Explained - Automatic Private IP Addressing

What is APIPA? If Microsoft Windows computers cannot make contact with a DHCP server to get an IP address, they will self-assign themselves an IP address. These IP addresses will be in this range 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254. And the reason they do this is so that they will still be able to communicate with other computers on the same local network/subnet that also have self-assigned IP addresses.

I've actually seen a server on fire. I yanked the power cord out of the wall with a pair of side cutters. The manager put it out with a fire extinguisher. So, I'd say your graphic was pretty realistic.

The ending where the fire from the DHCP server burned down the letters and title line was hilarious, good implementation of a 4th wall break, I didn't expect it to happen

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos. I can't tell you how many spoken word lecturers I listened to studying for A+ without grasping the core of these really abstract concepts. Then I found your simple animations and everything started to click. My Core 1 exam is in a week, and for the first time in months, I think I can actually do it

2:18 I bet you had fun animating the DHCP server :D

The visuals you use in all your videos along with simple talk are so easy to understand. I couldn't understand my instructors IP address math for figuring out hex and your other video on here about that made it so easy!

Pre-liked so I can watch this at home. This Channel has old school learning vibes. Love it.

[glocrowhurst]

giggled out loud at the server-on-fire animation! Thanks for the amazing resource as always!!

To all those looking for a tier 1 position, you can guarantee this will be a question on your technical interview

Your short courses are like 1 full lecture worth, wish we had this for our networking classes.

You never stop surprising me with these videos. I love them. Please never stop posting them.

My undergrad and graduate degrees are in social sciences.I do not have any professional training in computer science. However, I feel like I have learned a lot by watching the content. The content encouraged me to set up a NAS in my home. I even have thought about enrolling in some free courses on networking. You really made these topics interesting and simple. I hope you keep creating content.

I love your explanations on the different subject matter and the animations make the explanation even easier to understand.

I have learnt so much from this channel and it is time to give back! I just joined as a member. Looking forward to learning more from it!

Informative yet entertaining video, thank you for making videos like these! This was my favorite acronym when I was still studying. I would shout APIPA in class everytime I encounter it on packet tracer.

[shashankverma]

This is the easiest explanation for APIPA. Thank you so much.

You have no idea how helpful your contents are. ❤
