Re: [FW1] 169.254.X.X ip addresses in state table

These are IANA IP addresses used for automatic IP addressing, as Ryan has mentioned, here's the 'evidence' !

Subject: [FW1] 169.254.X.X ip addresses in state table

I have been getting a lof of errors in my event log with some ip addresses that do not belong to my network:

 

169.254.X.X

 

when i type in fw tab -t host_table > lichost.txt

 

I can see that the src ip is 169.254.X.X and destination to somewhere on the internet.

 

Any idea of what and where this ip address is coming from?

 

 

Thanks
