Should 169.254.xxx.xxx addresses appear in flows?

Since it's a link local address should it even appear in flows, or at least get filtered out when System Noise is toggled on?

  Are you getting a lot of these? 169.254 are from devices who can't get DHCP... so if you have these, your LAN device may not be operating correctly.

  Looks like about 12 of them in an hour. It's from an Axis camera that I've recently reset to default settings, so I'm not sure why it's doing this. It's set to get a static IP from the Firewalla via DHCP and is working correctly. It's all port 10100 traffic. 

  Thanks to your DHCP hint I also changed the camera settings for a static IP which seems to have stopped the traffic. 

  Just thought the system noise setting would hide this from the flows list since it's not really outbound traffic?

  We only hide system noise that's very common. Things like this, usually don't happen often.
