How do I disable the zeroconf route so that the system will boot without
the 169.254.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 route?
by Cynthia Davis
Symptom:
Every time the system boots, the zeroconf route (169.254.0.0) is
enabled. You manually disable it by turning off the firewall and remove
the route with 169.254.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 using the route command.
Example output of the route with the zeroconf route enables would like
similar to the following:
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
10.15.50.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
Solution:
To disable the zeroconf route during system boot, edit the
/etc/sysconfig/network file and add the following NOZEROCONF value to
the end of the file:
NETWORKING=YES
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain
NOZEROCONF=yes
Additional Information:

Solution? Leave it as it is or delete it :) It shouldn't make any problem
It's a local block of ip addresses and don't get routed.
Cheers,

PS: But perhaps dhcpcd or pump is running in background on due some
miss configuration?

I had such a experience with SuSE on a server with two network

I too am on SuSE. One IP is my LAN IP but the SuSE box is the DHCP
server itself. But many of my friend have seen this on their RedHat
servers.
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link
Their machines had only 1 network card and had fixed IPs.
What is the solution to this?
