It is known as APIPA , that is the IP address automatically generated by the OS when there is not contact to a DHCP server. So it is a OS (self) generated IP address which has no connection or coordination with any other networking componenets, so that we can not communicate to any other networking devices using this IP address. That is the reason why we are not online with APIPA.
