Preface: My network is 100% routed and I don't use 169.254.1.1 anywhere in my network. I understand that it's the "last ditch" IP for accessing the radios, but it shouldn't show up in any routing scenerios.
When I'm pinging an SM from the office I ocasionally get reply from 169.254.1.1 expired in transit..
The interface facing the SM is 100.64.5.1/22. It makes two hops to my desk (104.37.xx.xxx). When an SM goes offline I get "request times out" for a few packets and then a "expired in transit" from 169.254.1.1..
Is this normal?? I would expect the "expired in transit" to come from one of the addresses on the router, none of which are 169.254.x.x..
