ip-token − tokenized interface identifer support
ip token { COMMAND | help }
ip token { set } TOKEN dev DEV
ip token { get } dev DEV
ip token { list }
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>.
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.
|
TOKEN |
the interface identifer token address. |
dev DEV
the networking interface.
ip token get
- get the interface token from the kernel
show a tokenized interface identifer 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 identifers for the networking
interfaces from the kernel.
