Explanation:
Section Reference: Working with DHCP
Sometimes, APIPA can get in the way of a client obtaining an IP address properly (for example, when aclient
attempts to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, but the DHCP server is too busy). At that point, APIPA
would self-assign an IP address to the client computer, and the computer would be stuck with that address until
you run ipconfig /releaseand ipconfig /renewfrom the command line.
