Model: ER605 (TL-R605)  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.1 Build 20210723 Rel.64608

I have constant traffic from a 169.254.11.22 address that I believe is internal to the router.

 

My router has a very simple setup LAN1 -> WAN1 via Policy Routing

 

Router config:

WAN1: 192.168.12.x

LAN1: 192.168.1.x

DHCP disabled

 

The address shows up in the Status -> Traffic Statistics -> IP Statistics table as a constant 1 pkt/s. I've port mirrored/packet captured the WAN1 and LAN1 ports and never saw a 169.254 come through either port which leads me to believe this could be internal to the router. 

 

 

Any suggestions on further troubleshooting?

I Asked TP-LINK about this earlier and the answer is......

 

Yes, it is designed like this. The 169.254.11.21 is the br-lan IP for the SDN gateway, all the SDN gateways have the br-lan IP. 

 

 

You have 169.254.11.22, maybe they have changed the ip or there is different on Omada SDN and stand alone.

 

I do a scan on a firewall and I have the same
