When you bring up at new LINUX OS installation it will typically [at least in the case of CentOS] have a route of 169.254/16 on every interface. These routes are used to support the good and virtuous feature known as "zeroconf". Sometimes however you do not want that route noise - especially if the host is going to be operating as a router or firewall. Fortunately disabling this feature for this specific use-case is easy.
