Detailed Description

Autop-IP service is used to automatically configure an interface with an IPv4 link-local address within the 169.254/16 prefix that is valid for communication with other devices connected to the same physical (or logical) link.
IPv4 Link-Local addresses are not suitable for communication with devices not directly connected to the same physical (or logical) link, and are only used where stable, routable addresses are not available (such as on ad hoc or isolated networks).
Upon receiving a conflicting ARP packet, a Auto-IP service immediately configure a new IPv4 Link-Local address.
The protocol specification is defined by RFC3927.

After the Auto-IP service is initialized by calling the fnet_autoip_init() function, the user application should call the main service-polling function fnet_service_poll() periodically in background.

The Auto-IP service is released automatically if an application will change the interface IPv4-adress parameters manually or start DHCP service.
For the Auto-IP service example, refer to the FNET Shell demo source code.
