DESCRIPTION

22       IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support is used for assigning well-
23       known host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining a global net‐
24       work prefix from Router advertisements. The primary target for tok‐
25       enized identifiers are server platforms where addresses are usually
26       manually configured, rather than using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tok‐
27       enized identifiers, hosts can still determine their network prefix by
28       use of SLAAC, but more readily be automatically renumbered should their
29       network prefix change [1]. Tokenized IPv6 Identifiers are described in
30       the draft [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02>.
31
32
33   ip token set - set an interface token
34       set the interface token to the kernel.
35
36       TOKEN  the interface identifier token address.
37
38       dev DEV
39              the networking interface.
40
41
42   ip token del - delete an interface token
43       delete the interface token from the kernel.
44
45       dev DEV
46              the networking interface.
47
48
49   ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
50       show a tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking
51       device.  Arguments: coincide with the arguments of ip token set but the
52       TOKEN must be left out.
53
54   ip token list - list all interface tokens
55       list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces
56       from the kernel.
