Is there any API for this ?
Thanks,

I don't know the answer to your question, but I did find a decent piece of information describing AutoIP:
"Auto IP is a special network address mode.
In normal condition, after connecting to a wireless network your phone gets IP address from a DHCP server (alternatively you can specify static address in advanced settings). When you don't set static address and DHCP server is not available phone will not be able to access any network resources. This is not desired condition, especially when you are just setting up new home network, router, printer or any other device.
Then auto ip was introduced. It is a special pool of network addresses used only to connect within local network to allow setting up basics or to allow two devices to communicate directly without setting up static addresses or DHCP servers and routers. These adresses are 169.254.x.x/16, where x.x means from 0.1 to 255.254. They are random assigned, when phone can't connect to DHCP server within certain amount of time.
When more than one device has auto ip address within the same wifi/LAN they can communicate together but cannot access the Internet or other networks.
You don't need it under normal conditions.
Best regards,
Sergio PL"

AutoIP is supported for the ThreadX/NetXduo combination
It should probably work for netX as well
For LwIP it might work but not tested extensively.
If you enable external DHCP server then AutoIP is automatically enabled and used.
There are some issues in this area on older sdks
Please use 3.6.x or newer

Hi nsankar,
For the "3.6.x or newer", do you mean the SDK version?
If yes, where to download it?
Thanks.

Hi nsankar,
AutoIP is not automatically enabled when using external DHCP server.
To enable AutoIP, I need to add below line to my application's makefile.
GLOBAL_DEFINES | += AUTO_IP_ENABLED |
