to make this work better, some companies are choosing the static fallback
IP address in the AutoIP range 169.254.x.x/16. At least Windows will fallback
to this range if it does not find a DHCP server on this link; so it should at
least possible to browse to the web gui and/or open a SSH connection...
without reconfiguring your Windows system.
I don't know whether this works out-of-the-box on Mac or usual Linux distros,
too.
Regards,
Michael
