Re: I've never understood
said by Titus Pullo  :why some techs hate this 'feature' so much. I base this on (A) the fact that it can be turned off via windows w/a registry hack, and (B) it enables a subnet to communicate machine to machine when a DHCP server is down. Even my network+ instructor hated the concept of APIPA. Know what it is and then either use it or turn it off. The hatred comes form administering large private nets, without DHCP, or with DHCP reservations and no leases, etc. It's annoying to get BS arps coming from 169.xx.xx.xx from boxes that some clooless users decides to plug into your network... |
