2.5. Assign a Static IP Address

Most networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning that the router
will automatically assign the Network Space 2 an IP address. If
the network is not DHCP-managed, the Network Space 2 will use
APIPA to assign itself a valid IP address of existing network; in some
cases it will assign itself an IP address following the rule

169.254.
