As far as I recall, if you boot up an unconfigured / default configuration Fedora installation, and it tries to connect to a DHCP server but can't (such as the server was down), it will eventually use link-local addresses. I seem to remember that zeroconf (which uses those addresses), is part of a default installation. And, as I seem to recall that if you booted up Fedora preconfigured to use DHCP network settings, but it couldn't find a DHCP server, it just didn't get an IP assigned to it. I can't test either of these at the moment. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 31 23:36:51 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
