- .SH "DESCRIPTION"
- IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support is used for assigning well-known
- host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining a global network prefix
- from Router advertisements. The primary target for tokenized identifiers are
- server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than
- using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenized identifiers, hosts can still
- determine their network prefix by use of SLAAC, but more readily be
- automatically renumbered should their network prefix change [1]. Tokenized
- IPv6 Identifiers are described in the draft
- [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02>.
- .SS ip token set - set an interface token
- set the interface token to the kernel.
- .TP
- .I TOKEN
- the interface identifier token address.
- .TP
- .BI dev " DEV"
- the networking interface.
- .SS ip token del - delete an interface token
- delete the interface token from the kernel.
- .TP
- .BI dev " DEV"
- the networking interface.
- .SS ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
- show a tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking device.
- .B Arguments:
- coincide with the arguments of
- .B ip token set
- but the
- .I TOKEN
- must be left out.
- .SS ip token list - list all interface tokens
- list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces from
- the kernel.
