IP-TOKEN(8) Linux IP-TOKEN(8)NAMEip-token - tokenized interface identifier support
SYNOPSIS
ip token { COMMAND | help }
ip token set TOKEN dev DEV
ip token del dev DEV
ip token get [ dev DEV ]
ip token [ list ]
DESCRIPTION
IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support is used for assigning well-
known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining a global net‐
work prefix from Router advertisements. The primary target for tok‐
enized identifiers are server platforms where addresses are usually
manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tok‐
enized 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>.
ip token set - set an interface token
set the interface token to the kernel.
TOKEN the interface identifier token address.
dev DEV
the networking interface.
ip token del - delete an interface token
delete the interface token from the kernel.
dev DEV
the networking interface.
ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
show a tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking
device. Arguments: coincide with the arguments of ip token set but the
TOKEN must be left out.
ip token list - list all interface tokens
list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces
from the kernel.
