[FW-1] RFC3330 - Special-Use IPv4 Addresses

["Cotton, Cyndy" <Cyndy.Cotton@FW1-NOSPAMDENI.GOV.UK>]

Hi

My FW-1 log file shows entries for nbdatagrams from Source: 169.254.210.200
to Destination 169.254.255.255.

RFC3330 states -
"169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. . It is allocated for
communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these addresses
by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not be found".
But can anyone explain what circumstances might cause this to happen on my
network please?
Many thanks,
Cyndy
