What does a 169.254.x.x IP address on a client indicate?
- A The device could not reach a DHCP server and self-assigned an APIPA address
- B The device has a static IP

- D DNS is misconfigured
Answer
The device could not reach a DHCP server and self-assigned an APIPA address
This points at DHCP or physical connectivity rather than the device's own configuration, which narrows troubleshooting immediately.
