.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.
