Which of the following is an APIPA IP-address?
  1. 192.168.0.1
  2. 169.254.8.24
  3. 10.0.0.1
  4. 127.0.0.1
Explanation
Answer: B - APIPA (or Automatic Private IP Addressing) IP-Addresses are always on the 169.254.0.0 network.

Key Takeaway - An APIPA IP-address is assigned to a computer when the IP address must be self-assigned due to the lack of a DHCP server or of a manually assigned address; an APIPA address will always begin with 169.25.x.x. 192.168.x.x and 10.x.x.x are both IP Addresses reserved for private networks. 127.0.0.1 is reserved as a loopback address within TCP/IP.
