| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| IPv6 tokenized interface identifer 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. Once a token is set, it cannot be |
| removed from the interface, only overwritten. |
| .TP |
| .I TOKEN |
| the interface identifer token address. |
| .TP |
| .BI dev " DEV" |
| the networking interface. |
| |
| .SS ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel |
| show a tokenized interface identifer 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 identifers for the networking interfaces from |
| the kernel. |
