Click the View Lab button and use the lab interface to find the answers to the following questions.

What is the IPv4 address of the workstation?
169.254.201.11
What is the subnet mask?
255.255.0.0
How did the computer get its IP configuration information?
APIPA
What type of Internet access would this computer have?
No access

You can use the ipconfig command to find the IP address and subnet mask. You will need to use ipconfig /all to find additional information, such as whether the computer got addressing information from a DHCP server or not.
In this scenario, the computer is configured to get information from a DHCP server (DHCP Enabled = Yes), but the DHCP server line is missing, meaning that the computer could not contact a DHCP server. The Autoconfiguration Enabled line indicates Yes, meaning that the computer will use APIPA if the DHCP server is unavailable. An address beginning with 169.254.x.x with a mask of 255.255.0.0 indicates that the computer used APIPA to assign itself an IP address.
Because the computer does not have a default gateway address, it will be unable to communicate on the Internet. Communications will be limited to the local subnet only.
