  32 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  33 IPv6 tokenized interface identifier support is used for assigning well-known
  34 host-part addresses to nodes whilst still obtaining a global network prefix
  35 from Router advertisements. The primary target for tokenized identifiers are
  36 server platforms where addresses are usually manually configured, rather than
  37 using DHCPv6 or SLAAC. By using tokenized identifiers, hosts can still
  38 determine their network prefix by use of SLAAC, but more readily be
  39 automatically renumbered should their network prefix change [1]. Tokenized
  40 IPv6 Identifiers are described in the draft
  41 [1]: <draft-chown-6man-tokenised-ipv6-identifiers-02>.
  42
  43 .SS ip token set - set an interface token
  44 set the interface token to the kernel.
  45 .TP
  46 .I TOKEN
  47 the interface identifier token address.
  48 .TP
  49 .BI dev " DEV"
  50 the networking interface.
  51
  52 .SS ip token del - delete an interface token
  53 delete the interface token from the kernel.
  54 .TP
  55 .BI dev " DEV"
  56 the networking interface.
  57
  58 .SS ip token get - get the interface token from the kernel
  59 show a tokenized interface identifier of a particular networking device.
  60 .B Arguments:
  61 coincide with the arguments of
  62 .B ip token set
  63 but the
  64 .I TOKEN
  65 must be left out.
  66 .SS ip token list - list all interface tokens
  67 list all tokenized interface identifiers for the networking interfaces from
  68 the kernel.
