Why does my eth0 interface contain a link-local route if I run the route command.?

My older servers don't have this but my 9.3 and onwards seems to always have this, and I'm not sure what its for.

I believe Link Local connections are now supported, if network interfaces are configured with Network Manager. This will allow automatic IP configuration, when there's no DHCP server available. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
